We live in a wonderfully supportive community!

A huge thank you to Shrock Premier Custom Construction, LLC for helping the Rotary Club of Loudonville turn leftover trail bologna and Swiss cheese from Malabar Farm’s Heritage Days into an opportunity to give back.

Shrock generously purchased our remaining inventory, allowing us to donate it to Helping Hands, where local families will be able to enjoy it.

It's another great example of neighbors helping neighbors, and we're grateful to Shrock for making it possible!

Come visit us at Malabar Farm today and tomorrow for Heritage Days!

In 1979, members of the Rotary Club of Loudonville gathered at Jim McClure’s annual club fish fry and voted to join Rotary International’s new effort to eradicate polio. As the late Ed Haudenschild recalled at a club meeting in 2019, members went on to raise $13,000 (quite a sum at the time) as our club’s initial contribution.

Rotary International had begun the fight that year with a project to immunize 6 million children in the Philippines. Since then, Rotary has contributed more than $2.9 billion toward the worldwide eradication of polio.

The Gates Foundation joined the fight in 1999 and partnered with Rotary in 2007. That partnership eventually grew into today’s matching commitment: for every $1 Rotary commits to polio eradication, the Gates Foundation contributes $2.

More than 45 years after that vote at a Loudonville fish fry, the fight isn’t quite over. But it’s remarkably close.

When Rotary helped launch the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988, an estimated 350,000 cases of polio occurred annually in 125 countries.

Today, wild polio cases have been reduced by more than 99.9%, endemic in only two countries: Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The Rotary Club of Loudonville is proud to be part of a worldwide network of Rotarians committed to finishing the job. Together, we can End Polio Now.

While vacationing in Jamestown, NY last weekend, I met up with fellow Rotarians from the Jamestown and Falconer, NY clubs. Tried my luck on the big 50/50 raffle, too. All three clubs were sponsoring a "night at the ballpark" featuring the Jamestown Tarp Skunks vs. Elmira Pioneers. Final score Pioneers 14, Skunks 2. Not a good night for the little critters.

Rotary congratulates the L/P School Foundation for achieving its fundraising goal of $100,000. By surpassing this goal, it now stands a good chance of building its endowment even further through a matching grant by the Ramser Family Foundation and additional gifts and grants like the $3,000 gift made by the Rotary Club of Loudonville on May 19th. Accepting the check presented by Rotary president Brian Hartzell is Mike Bandy, president of the L/P School Foundation. (Photo by Jim Brewer, The Loudonville Times.)

Rotarians heard from Dr. John Stephen Allerding on May 5th about his latest adventure at Palmer Station in Antarctica. Fascinating presentation with plenty of beautiful photos of Antarctica and its wildlife. This was Steve's fifth posting to the southern-most continent. Gifting him with a Rotary speaker's pen is Rotarian Brian Hinkle of Park National Park in Loudonville and Steve's nephew)
