Over $10,000 in Ukraine relief raised by the Pleasantville Rotary Club

We are proud to announce that the Pleasantville Rotary Club's fundraising effort for Ukrainian Relief has raised over $10,000! We partnered with the Rotary Club of Gizycko in Poland to provide assistance to Ukrainian refugees fleeing their country. Below are some amazing images from their effort.

Pleasantville Rotary’s Relief Fund for Ukraine has now raised over $6000!

Initiated by incredibly generous donations of $500 each by three Pleasantville Rotarians, the club has launched a fundraising effort for Ukrainian Relief. Our club will partner with the Rotary Club of Gizycko in Poland to provide much needed assistance to Ukrainian refugees fleeing the horrible situation in their homeland.

The Rotary Club of Gizycko is working with Rotary Clubs in Ukraine and 6 other Rotary Clubs in Poland. They purchase and transport supplies that the Rotary Clubs in Ukraine identify as needed. Then they bring the supplies to the Polish/Ukraine border where members of the Rotary Clubs in Ukraine meet them to take the supplies to those in need in Ukraine.

Virtually Fermented was held on Saturday, May 1

If you didn’t tune into the Pleasantville Rotary Club's Fermented Fundraising event on Saturday you missed out on a great time. John Garrity from Captain Lawrence did a great job explaining the beer he was serving and giving all a tour of the facilities. He is a man who knows his business.

This event replaced our usual fund raiser, Hudson Valley Fermented (HV Fermented), due to the COVID pandemic. Normally, this is a live event held at Pace University with 300+ in attendance and raises in excess of $30,000. After having to cancel both last year's and this year's HV Fermented, the Club decided to go virtual. We partnered with Captain Lawrence Brewing Company of Elmsford, NY to offer a tasting of a specially selected 4-pack of beer. A Zoom presentation highlighting the qualities of the beers, a brief history of Captain Lawrence Brewing Company, as well as a tour of the brewery was led by John Garrity.

Our Holiday Fruit Sale Was a Big Success!

The results are in from our 2020 Holiday Fruit Sale - "Fruit for Thought", benefitting the Community Scholarship Fund of Pleasantville. We sold 300 cases of fruit - about 100 more than last year! This will net over $4,200 for our Club to donate to the Community Scholarship Fund.

The generosity didn't end there. In addition to the funds raised for the Community Scholarship Fund, 38 cases of fruit were donated to Feeding Westchester. There are so many more people these days who ae suffering from food insecurity, this contribution will be welcome.

For anyone who ordered fruit, we expect delivery sometime during the week of December 14. We will be in touch with you about delivery of any fruit you ordered. Thank you to all who participated.
