Rachael Gazdick, New York Edge’s chief executive officer, was our guest speaker for the April 5th meeting at the Larchmont Yacht Club.  New York Edge is the metropolitan region’s largest provider of after-school enrichment programs.  It serves more than 30,000 students in 136 schools across all five boroughs and Long Island.  Over 85% of its students come from low-income households.  It began over 30 years ago under the “Schools Sports & Arts Foundation” from the efforts of tennis legend Arthur Ashe.
 
Club President Lester Nathan was formally recognized as a member of the Rotary Foundation’s Bequest Society at our March 1st meeting.  The Foundation recognizes couples or individuals who have made commitments in their estate plans totaling $10,000 or more.  Area Governor Sandy Wolstein attached a pin to Lester’s jacket and Regional Major Gifts Officer Celeste Herbert presented him with an engraved crystal.  He also received a pendant and print from the Foundation.
 
The Larchmont Rotary Club welcomed Ameil A. Sloley as our guest speaker on March 1st.  Using an informative slideshow, she gave our audience an introduction to Toastmasters International and how it improves its members' speaking skills.
 
 
Our club was pleased to have District 7230 Membership Chairman Hugh Maynard-Reid as guest speaker at our January 26th luncheon meeting at the yacht club.  It was a "motivational" presentation, one which was full of inspiration and high energy.

Special guests included District Governor Loren Russell, Governor Nominee Garrett Capobianco and Area Governor Sandy Wolstein.
Larchmont Rotary repeated as the champion team among all Westchester Rotary clubs for most money raised for the Alzheimer's Association in 2023. Westchester Rotarians raised over $14,000 in total. We reclaimed the Rotary trophy on January 17th at the Awards Ceremony held at the new Berkemeier Center at the Wartburg in Mount Vernon.  Nationally, our team came in 16th and individually, Lester Nathan came in 21st among Rotarians.
 
Stephen Fine, founder and president of the Melanoma Education Foundation, gave club members an informative presentation on melanoma on December 1st.  He explained the differences between the three types of skin cancer, basal sell, squamous and melanoma, then went into further depth about the subcategories.
 
He also described how to detect skin cancers, prevention and treatment.  For more information about melanoma, he provided us with several links to websites and online videos.
 
Debby Miller, a clinical social worker from the Larchmont/Mamaroneck Counseling Center, was the guest speaker at our November 17th meeting. The Center is involved in our community and schools, providing substance abuse education, identifying and offering help to at-risk kids and running Life Skills and other groups for kids.

Her first topic was Internet betting, which began two years ago in New York and has changed the gambling landscape. There now exist thousands of gambling sites.  Their advertising is aimed at children and young adults. One study revealed that 39.5% of kids 12 to 17 have gambled in the past year.
