backpackBackpack Distribution a Great Success! By Linda Greenblatt    Shown in photos in action at the Backpack distribution are Christine Chale, Agatha Bacelar Ariadne Montare, and Interact students Laura and Sarah. Collaboration between Red Hook Rotary, the Hudson Valley Foundation for Youth Health (HVFYH), the Red Hook Methodist Church, and the Dutchess County Alpha Zeta Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma (DGK) (an International Society for Key Women Educators) in 2021 began with a $750 donation from the HVFYH, Clynk monies from Red Hook Rotary and DKG, plus private donations of school supplies from DKG members. It resulted in the distribution of approximately seventy backpacks for students in grades Pre-K to 12. Distribution was through various food pantries in the Red Hook Central School District. Red Hook Rotary and the Red Hook Rotary Foundation also generously donates $3,000 to Red Hook Harvest annually to alleviate food insecurity for families with children attending the Linden Avenue Middle School and Red Hook High School. Many of the same families express a need for school supplies for their children. In 2022 with a $1,000 donation from Red Hook Rotary, a $1,500 grant from HVFYH, a donation from Deep Roots Construction (Casey Van Voorhis), and Clynk monies from Red Hook Rotary and DKG, Alpha Zeta, over 120 backpacks will be filled to the brim with school supplies (plus a box of tissues, a large tube of toothpaste, and a bamboo recyclable toothbrush!) needed by students to start the 2022-23 academic year. Additionally, Red Hook Rotary has reached out privately to several special needs classroom teachers where there is a need for supplemental school supplies in several local school districts. It should be noted that a donated book has also been placed in each backpack Pre-K-5. Our thanks to the following generous donors who made the backpack program possible:   dkg.org  hvfyh.org  Casey Van Voorhis, 845-240-0448 |

Molinaro
 Our guest this week was Red Hook resident and Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro. Marc focused his remarks on the 14-months that Dutchess County has led the local effort against the coronavirus. He noted that across the nation, counties have responsibility for the logistical support for public health initiatives and that they carry the financial support for these efforts. Dutchess County entered the crisis in a strong fiscal position, but they anticipated $32,000 loss of revenues due to lower employment, including furloughed workers. In actuality, the county recovered earlier and stronger than anticipated because the local economy bounced back in the fourth quarter of 2020 as home improvement business generated sales tax growth. In addition, the stay-at-home phenomenon resulted in a shift in consumer spending to the county. And a high level of real estate transactions raised mortgage tax revenues for towns and municipalities in the county. As a result of these developments, the county is stronger fiscally than anticipated and is strategically refilling some county jobs. Federal support is needed, that support comes from FEMA. It is anticipated that Dutchess County will receive substantial Federal support over the next two years to cover revenue loss and COVID related spending. During the discussion following Marc’s remarks, the County Executive noted that individual municipalities can reject marijuana sales. That decision, however, has sales tax implications that they should consider. We thanked Marc for updating us on the county and for joining us for the meeting.

tivoli fd
 Our guest speaker this week was Marc Hildebrand, Tivoli’s Fire Chief. Marc reported that Tivoli’s Fire Department now boasts 50 active members and 20 interior fighters, making it the largest department in the northeast region of Dutchess County. He noted that part of the spur to the growth was a fire that took place at Tivoli’s Firehouse over two years ago. That fire nearly destroyed the existing structure, required a temporary structure be placed in the municipal lot, and took a year and a half to repair. It also increased interest in the Fire Company, elicited new volunteers (doubled the size of the company), spurred the Village and the Fire Company to develop a design for a new, improved and expanded firehouse and built enthusiasm for the company. The proposed new structure nearly doubles the size of the building, provides essential improvements, including showers, emergency shelter, community space and needed bay expansion to house some historic fire equipment that is currently stored elsewhere and some new equipment that will enhance the company’s capacity transport firefighters and effectively meet emergencies. The design was developed for the fire company and the Village by Peter Sweeney, a local architect. It not only meets the company’s needs, but also is designed to fit appropriately into the Village’s historic overlay district and within the Historic Landmark District within which the Village is located.

66th anny
66 years of Red Hook Rotary!  Marking the 49th week of “stay at home” meetings required by the coronavirus outbreak, Jennifer Van Voorhis called the Zoom meeting to order at 8 am Fourteen club members attended along with our District Governor Tony Marmo, our assistant district governor, Maureen Gates, our frequent guest/member, Gwen McCann, and the much esteemed, Dan Budd, founder of Red Hook Responds. The meeting marked the 66th anniversary of our club and featured a review of decades of club activities and initiatives. Jen led the meeting off with introductions of all our guests and with some unique versions of our ritual meeting openings. We spoke the pledge of allegiance, and then witnessed a beautiful video of a Tanzanian club’s sung version of the 4-way test. Rev. Michael Shafer offered a blessing to start the meeting. Jen, then, orchestrated a series of member testimonials on activities that marked their experience with Rotary. Susan Simon led off with the story of her first experience of a Rotary district leadership meeting at which she was a disc jockey and dance teacher for a group swing dance. Jonah provided a photo retrospective of club activities since 1955 (which can be seen on our club website), including youth exchange students (Chris Chale) and interact club students (led by Carl Dowden and Linda Greenblatt), Rotary Youth Leadership Academy (founded by Bud Weaver’s dad when he was District Governor and financially supported by the club every year), Apple Blossom Day (organized annually by Dave Wright and Linda Greenblatt), Tree Planting and Aqua Box distributions (maintained by Tim Lynch), Clynk and Food Pantry support (initiated by Jen Van Voorhis) which has contributed $2500 worth of personal hygiene products distributed through the Community Center and food pantries of Red Hook, Radio Rotary which features service above self on local radio stations (Jonah Triebwasser), support of the Library literacy project through purchase of books, Baxter’s Bash, our annual picnic, Youth Wrestling and more. Our district governor, Tony Marmo, provided the history of our club, detailing the many changes in our chartered name and number. He noted that we started in 1955, the 50th anniversary of the national and global organization, with 25 members including John Martin, one of the many Martin’s, still living in Red Hook. The club was started by Herbert J Taylor. He talked about the importance of community based activities in keeping club’s relevant and healthy. The Rotary International Convention will be virtual again this year as will the Highland Club’s Ribfest.

It is with deep and genuine regret and sorrow that we note the passing of our senior member and past-president, The Reverend Fred Cartier.
Our guest speaker this week was Emily Sachar, Publisher and Editor of “The Red Hook Daily Catch.” She first informed us that her Grandfather was a Rotarian! Emily spoke of her background prior to establishing the Red Hook Daily Catch and the goal for her publication – to be a legitimate and high quality newspaper. She is striving to get at least one “Fresh Story” published daily in the newsletter format. When The Red Hook Daily Catch first started there were a little more than 100 readers – as of 9/21 there are over 1,380 subscribers. Red Hook is no longer a “news desert.” We then had a discussion about how the paper has developed and what we would like to see developed in the future. The Red Hook Daily Catch will always be a non-partisan newspaper and Emily is actively training her staff (including two young journalists in training) how to edit the words or handle details that can be interpreted as partisan.
Red Hook Rotary continues to distribute masks as part of Rotary's Million Mask Challenge. Here Rotarian Linda Greenblatt donates masks to the Red Hook Central Schools. The masks were accepted, with thanks, by School Superintendent Janet Warden.
