Albany Rotary

We are your neighbors. A diverse group of business leaders who connect to create a positive impact on the local and global community.

Get Involved

The cornerstone of Rotary is Service. Albany Rotary is involved in a number of service oriented projects during the year. Our members are engaged directly in projects and fundraise for worthy causes.

You don’t need to be a member to come out and help. We welcome non-members who want to work on Rotary Projects.

The RED Book Shelf

Albany Rotary regularly spends time volunteering at The RED (read each day) Bookshelf helping to prepare for distribution throughout the capital region. They are a favorite community partner that is currently in our regular service night rotation.  While there we sort and categorize donated books, review, clean and mend books so that they are in like-new condition before they land in the hands of their new owner.  Once the books are in tip top condition they are placed in schools, barbershops, health care offices and more awaiting a child to take them to their new home.

Brian Barr Youth Recognition Luncheon.

This event honors Capital Region youth who have had more than average challenges on their pathway to success.  We celebrate the incredible achievements of our area youth from:

Lasalle

Christmas at La Salle School

The La Salle School is an Albany based social services agency with both residential and day programs for youth in challenging situations.

Beginning in 2014, Albany Rotary has assisted the Catholic Women’s Service League in providing Christmas giving help for youth at the La Salle School. The Service League has been providing this help since the early 1900s.

Many of the youth at the La Salle School have never been able to give Christmas presents before. Gifts are made available (some are donated, some are purchased in after Christmas sales in prior years), and each student is given a budget. Rotarians help the league set up gift tables and staff them while the students select presents for their families and loved ones, learning to manage their budget and expenditures.

This project typically extends over three days, with both evening and daytime hours. Volunteers need only work one shift, but are welcome to work as many as they want.

When this year’s event is scheduled, it will be added to our calendar and an article will be posted under News. But donations of gift items can be made at any time; gifts should be new items (not necessarily expensive ones) that would be suitable for brothers, sisters, parents and extend family.
