Mamaroneck High School junior Daniel Wetmore was honored with Larchmont Rotary's Blum Award on November 14th for managing the revitalization of the school garden at Hommocks Middle School.  A celebratory luncheon was held at the Larchmont Yacht Club.  The Blum Award recognizes local high school students for their initiative, leadership and creative pursuit to make a difference in their local community and beyond.
 
Our club's guest speaker on October 7th Zoom meeting was Tannie Schrader, an educator living in Spokane, Washington and an acquaintance of Mitch Weisburgh.  The discussion centered on Tammie's insights into the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, particularly its potential to enhance learning experiences for students. Tammie, drawing from her extensive background in education, emphasized the importance of engaging students with technology, particularly in light of their familiarity with smartphones and AI tools. She highlighted the need for educators to adapt their teaching methods to better align with students' interests and the capabilities of modern technology, advocating for innovative uses of smartphones in educational settings.
 
 
 
The Larchmont & New Rochelle Rotary team participated for the fourth time in the annual Alzheimer’s Association - Westchester County Walk to End Alzheimer’s on October 5th. The Walk’s main purpose is to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's care, support and research.

Six Hommocks Middle School students were honored by the Rotary Club of Larchmont as winners of the 2025 Essay Contest during its May 16th luncheon at the Larchmont Yacht Club.  Club member Marian White has led the effort for the last 23 years, coordinating in September with the Hommocks English Department to determine a relevant topic and then selecting Rotarian essay judges to determine the winners.  Each May, families, teachers, Rotarians and special guests have gathered to celebrate the most talented of the young writers.
 
The Rotary Club of Larchmont played a key role in supporting The STEM Alliance’s mission by funding a hands-on soldering activity featured at the STEM-tastic Festival, held at the Westchester Children’s Museum on May 9th. This popular annual event brought together children and families for an exciting day of STEM exploration, offering activities that inspire curiosity and creativity. The Rotary Club’s contribution enabled The STEM Alliance to provide all materials needed for kids to safely participate in an introductory soldering experience, helping bridge the gap between curiosity and real-world technical skills.
  
 
Brendan McCormack, manager of corporate and community partnerships of Feeding Westchester, was our guest speaker at the Larchmont Yacht Club on April 25th.  His organization distributes “quality, nutritious food to communities in need across Westchester County.”  It provides “access to programs that promote the health, education and nourishment of all who need help.”
