Dog days of September!

Fun in Watkins Glen!

Our Club's annual Camp STAR visit was hosted on Aug. 12 at Clute Park in Watkins Glen. The kids and counselors found ways to 'beat the heat,' including on the very popular splash pad and the new ADA-compliant playground! Camp STAR (Southern Tier Area Rotary) at The Y at Watson Woods offers great summer experiences to children unable to attend more traditional overnight camps. Thank you to Landon's Pub and Pizza and Ben & Jerry's for an amazing lunch, Captain Bills Seneca Lake Cruises for the scenic boat ride and to the Watkins Glen Fire Department, Watkins Glen Police Department, Beaver Dams Fire Department, Burdett Fire Department, Montour Falls Fire Department, Odessa Fire Department and Valois-Logan-Hector Volunteer Fire Department for the exciting fire truck brigade through the Village of Watkins Glen. The Horseheads Rotary Club finished off the day with dinner for the group at the cool and comfortable Clute Park Event Center. In the photo: Rotarian Emily Peckham with a happy camper.
