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 6^th luncheon meeting at the Larchmont Yacht Club. The contest, in its 35^th 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.

Breast Cancer Challenge

The Rotary Club of The Hudson Valley and Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center are delighted to launch this public health initiative, an outreach program for early detection of breast cancer lesions based on an innovative new device, iBreastExam. This FDA-approved new device is (a) non-invasive; (b) portable; (c) radiation-free; and (d) gives results in minutes.

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.

Rotary Installs New Signs Around Larchmont

The Rotary Club of Larchmont, a member of Rotary International, replaced its information signs, located near village boundaries, in early February. These signs are located on Post Road, Chatsworth Ave and Palmer Ave.

Club members Lester Nathan and Michael Gedigk worked on the project, which was necessitated by a change of the club's website address.

Blum Award Luncheon

Mamaroneck High School (MHS) students Sam Smoltz and Jackson Owen were honored with our club's annual Blum Award at a special luncheon held at the Larchmont Yacht Club on November 5th.

For several years, Sam and Jackson have been running the Aces for Alzheimers, a local club founded by their older sisters, which raises funds for Alzheimer's disease research. They did it by holding on-line trivia contests, casino nights and other events. The total amount raised came to $50,000.
