Larchmont Rotary Celebrates Hommocks Essay Contest Winners
 
Seven Hommocks Middle School students were honored by the Rotary Club of Larchmont as winners of the 2021 Essay Contest during its May 6th luncheon meeting at the Larchmont Yacht Club.  The contest, in its 35th year, resumed after a two year respite due to the pandemic.  Club member Marian White has led the effort for the last 20 years, coordinating in September with the Hommocks English Department to determine a relevant topic and at the beginning of the next year with the Rotarian essay judges to determine the winners.  A lunch is then held in May celebrating the most talented of the young writers.  Winners of this award have actually gone on to be professional writers.

          In 2021, the HV Rotary Club conducted nine such outreaches in densely populated neighborhoods in Westchester, New York. Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center has joined this initiative, given its pivotal significance in providing access to preventative medical care, especially in this field.
