Annual Calendar of the Rotary Club of Ossining
Every year, Ossining Rotary conducts one or more fundraising projects, so that we can distribute the money we raise to worthy local and international organizations. We also participate in hands-on projects to benefit the community, such as planting trees in Ossining parks and building, or helping to build, facilities such as the pavilion at Cedar Lane Park and the Arthur Jones Memorial playground.
Although we have varied speakers from year to year, and find new causes to support, certain events have marked the Ossining Rotary calendar every year.
