The Livingston Manor Rotary Club was host to the Rotary Region 5 Meeting on May, 9, 2023. Clubs from Rockland County up to Sullivan County joined together to celebrate successes of the Rotary year and to share in current club happenings. The Guest Speakers for the meeting were Kara Passante, Carolyn Bivens, and Glorianne Ellison from Sullivan County Ride 2 Survive. Ride to Survive provides much needed funds to assist in the transportation to and from to life saving medical appointments and treatments for cancer patients. No cancer patient is turned away. They made clear that no cancer patient should ever have to choose between being able to get to a treatment or food on the table or rent. The Rotary members were touched by the work done by this amazing organization and many Rotarians present donated personally to the cause.
Food, fellowship, and friendship enhances the Rotary motto of Service Above Self. That was certainly evident at this meeting! Thank you to the Livingston Manor Club for hosting this wonderful evening.
