North Suffolk Rotary

We needed yesterday’s rain, but sadly, we have no sunrise photos to share.

However, at this week’s meeting all the sunshine was INSIDE the Cedar Point Country Club!

This week's speaker was Cusi Hamlin, founder and CEO of Kalamoo Community Outreach. Kalamoo is the recipient of this year's North Suffolk Rotary Presidents fund. All proceeds from our Happy Dollars go to Kalamoo activities. Kalamoo is a Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) focused learning program right here in Suffolk, serving kids from elementary to high school age. They focus on teaching the kids robotics, computer programming, team building, and problem-solving.
Our funds have helped them buy equipment, laptops and attend statewide competition.

Cusi provided us with an overview of all the great things they’ve been doing. We also presented Cusi and Kalamoo with a check to support their continued service with the Suffolk STEAM program.

Heartfelt thanks to all our North Suffolk Rotary members who contribute to the Happy Dollars fund. Your generosity really helps programs like these, and we enjoy hearing all the Happy things going on in our lives!

Hope to see you next week!

The Suffolk First Citizen Award not only celebrates individual achievement but also serves as a reminder of the power of service, the importance of community leadership, and the enduring legacy of those who give generously of their time and talents.
