Help Support Our Local Youth through the Red Hook Rotary Foundation

The Red Hook Rotary Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation that was established by Red Hook Rotarians to provide financial support of programs and projects in and around the Red Hook community. The primary focus of the Foundation has been education and youth. We award scholarships to high school seniors, and support both the Interact Club at Red Hook High School and Rotary’s Youth Exchange Program. We have also contributed to community programs and projects including the Red Hook and Tivoli Libraries, local food banks and support networks. We also act internationally with donations Shelter Box and Aquabox.

In Memoriam

Linda Greenblatt

It is with deep and genuine regret and sadness that we note the passing of our dear friend and fellow Rotarian Linda Greenblatt.

Linda was the daughter of the late Ernest and Ruth (Meisner) Koberlein. Linda married Jay M Greenblatt on June 1, 1969 and Jay survives at home in Red Hook. Linda graduated with BS in 1971 and earned her Master’s in Education in 1974 from SUNY New Paltz. She worked as a History & Social Studies teacher at both Red Hook Middle School and Red Hook High School. Linda was an active member of Delta Kappa Gamma education fraternity.

Active in her community, Linda was a member of Red Hook Rotary (where she was recognized as Rotarian of the Year from 2011 to 2014 and was chair of our scholarships and business directory committees), the Red Hook Society for the Detection & Apprehension of Horse Thieves, and the Red Hook Antique Car Club.

An astute follower of politics, Linda also served for many years as an election coordinator for Dutchess County Board of Elections.

In addition to her family and many local interests, Linda enjoyed her summers boating on Lake George.

She is survived by her husband of 53 years- Jay; her children, David (Polly) Greenblatt of Estes Park, CO, and Michelle (Jason) Greenblatt Gromoll of Rotterdam, NY; her siblings, Shirley Fick of Spring Brook, PA, and Ronald Koberlein of New Port Richie, FL; her loving grandchildren, Samantha, Jacob, & Elizabeth; along with extended family, friends, and colleagues.
