Lucy Baeckmann, Club President 2023-2024

From our President

Welcome to the Cairo-Durham Rotary Club. We are located in beautiful Greene County, New York. Our club has dedicated its efforts to doing good deeds. This year our club is focused on giving back to our community and supporting our local schools. Our Rotarians are very proud of the work we do here and we would love for you to join us, either by considering becoming a member or possibly financially supporting one of our many fundraisers. 

Some of the projects that we are proud of being a part of and supporting are: donating funds to purchasing food for elementary students to bring home each weekend, purchasing sneakers for students in each of the Cairo-Durham school campuses, and purchasing Christmas presents for local families in need. We do several road cleanup projects a year on Route 23, as well as park beautification projects throughout the community. We also donate funds to local food pantries and women’s leagues, and purchase fluid warmers for our local EMS. Our Rotary has even supported other communities globally, donating a shelter box to the people of Haiti, donating funds to the people of the Ukraine, helping to purchase supplies and assisting in building a women’s shelter in Costa Rica, and sending funds to Turkey.  

Thank you for visiting our website and please feel free to explore the different areas of our site. It is a wonderful  resource to help you learn more about the work we do in the community, hear about upcoming events, and build connections in our community. We welcome you to the Rotary family of Cairo-Durham. As president, I want to thank you for visiting and I strongly encourage you to please get involved and help support the wonderful work we do. 

“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” Nelson Mandela

Cairo-Durham Rotary Club of NY

We had a great meeting last night with the Rotary Club of Greenville, NY. We were delighted to have Hannah Calhoun & Cassandra Martell from the Columbia-Greene Addiction Coalition come in as our guest speakers, and, talk with us about their organization and what they do in the community; along with discussing helpful resources to utilize that are in the area, events that they have coming up, how they want to unite and spread awareness to everyone in the area.

They also taught us how to use the Narcan spray, and, gave us pamphlets and kits for us to have and to distribute, big thank you for that!! In the near future, we would like to help bring this life saving tool to local businesses and to more people in the community so everyone has a kit.

Unfortunately, the fight against fentanyl and opiate overdoses is not over and you never know when a life needs saving but it helps to have the tools, knowledge and resources on hand just in case. If you would like a Narcan Kit for your home please contact them or us and we will get it to you.
