Message from Carolyn Wright, Owego Rotary President for 2023-24

Welcome, and thank you for visiting this window into what Owego Rotary is and what we do!

Our club meets in the Village of Owego, a picturesque, historic community located along the Susquehanna River in upstate New York. Our members are a mix of young and old from a variety of backgrounds and professions. We all share a wish to be of service to our community and we recognize the value of acquaintance in building a network of support and of personal and professional friendship.

Rotarians around the world are volunteers and believe in truth, fairness, and integrity in all they do. Owego Rotary’s history is a showcase of volunteer service built on the spirit of respect, trust, and caring for over 100 years. We invite you to see what Rotary is all about by investigating these pages. Perhaps you will discover that you would like to join Rotary. We are a friendly group and are happy to see fresh faces and to talk about new ideas.

Rotary International established the Paul Harris Fellowship (Paul Harris Fellow recognition | Rotary International) in 1957 to encourage and to recognize individuals who make substantial contributions to the Rotary Foundation. Each year the Owego Club makes a donation to the Foundation in recognition of a local individual who has provided outstanding service to the community. Each Owego Paul Harris Fellow is honored at a dinner and receives a certificate of recognition and a medallion.
