Club President 2024-2025
From our President
Welcome to the Cairo-Durham Rotary Club. We are located in beautiful Greene County, New York.
Our club’s focus is on responding to needs in our community and supporting our local schools. We are very proud of the work we do here and would love for you to join us – either by becoming a member or supporting one of our fundraisers. Rotarians are always eager to form new friendships to make for a better Cairo-Durham community.
Some of the projects that we are proud of supporting are: donating funds to purchase food for elementary students to bring home each weekend, purchasing sneakers for students in each of the Cairo-Durham school campuses, as well as and providing Christmas presents for local families in need. Our club does several road cleanup projects a year on Route 23, as well as park beautification projects throughout the community. We donate funds to local food pantries and women’s leagues, and recently purchased fluid warmers for our local EMS. Our Rotary has even supported our global community by donating an emergency shelter box to the people of Haiti, donating funds to the people of the Ukraine, and assisting in building a women’s shelter in Costa Rica.
As president, I want to thank you for visiting our website and I strongly encourage you to please get involved and help support the wonderful work we do.
“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance to those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.” FDR

🚨Dear Neighbors,
Over 55 years ago, the Cairo Rotary Club was chartered with the mission of serving both our local community and the world. Throughout the decades, hundreds of dedicated Rotarians have worked tirelessly as 100% volunteers, contributing to countless projects that have impacted the lives of many.
As a non-denominational, apolitical service organization, the Cairo Rotary Club has always focused on making a difference. Locally, our efforts have touched a wide array of causes, from supporting the Make-A-Wish Foundation and local fire departments to aiding the Cairo-Durham School District, the Columbia Greene Women’s Cancer League, and the Cairo Food Pantry. We have helped fund sports leagues, the Cairo Town Park, and various other organizations, demonstrating a commitment to our community's health, well-being, and growth. Twice a year, we gather to clean Route 23, ensuring our town remains beautiful and inviting.
Our commitment to service extends beyond local borders. The Cairo Rotary Club has contributed tens of thousands of dollars to international projects, including working towards the eradication of polio and providing shelter boxes to disaster-stricken areas around the world. We’ve been proud to host exchange students from different corners of the globe and send Cairo youth to engage in international cultural exchange, enriching the lives of all involved. Most recently, we traveled to Costa Rica to help build a women’s shelter and butterfly museum alongside Cairo-Durham students.
Unfortunately, despite our long-standing dedication to service, the Cairo Rotary Club faces an uncertain future. Due to a lack of volunteers and new leadership, the club will be disbanding in June of 2025. This decision is heartbreaking for the current members, who have fought to keep the club alive, but without fresh involvement, our mission is unsustainable.
In the 55 years we’ve been active, the Cairo Rotary Club has contributed well over $100,000 and countless volunteer hours to make a positive impact. We are incredibly proud of our work, and it pains us to see it come to an end. However, we are holding out hope that someone in or around Cairo will step forward to help continue the legacy of service that has defined this organization.
If you are interested in helping to keep the Cairo Rotary Club’s mission alive, we invite you to join us at Angel’s of Cairo on April 23, 2025, at 6:00 PM. Please RSVP to Beau Loendorf at Beau.oloendorf@gmail.com. Together, we can continue this incredible work and make a lasting impact on our community and the world.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We hope to see you there.
All the best,
