Service Above Self

Our Approach

We Bring Our Community Together

From the days of its infancy, Peekskill Rotary made itself known throughout the Rotary district. The Peekskill Club was barely a year old when it was invited to attend an inter-city meet in Poughkeepsie. The club decided to attend, in force and with gusto, with all members sporting “Peekskill” shirts inscribed with blue letters. A flowing yellow tie added to the ensemble, which included black or blue pants with white coats. All cars were decorated with a large sign bearing the words, “Peekskill Rotary Club.”

Garbed in flowing red caps, this same group of Rotarians definitely placed Peekskill on the Rotary map when it attended a Rotary conference in the Bronx a few years later. After the meeting, every club in the district knew that Peekskill had a spirited club. This reputation has been maintained through the years, as has its fine record of attendance.
