Rotary Club of Utica is looking to honor an individual or individuals for community service at its "Service Above Self" Gala.
Stephen Turnbull
The Rotary Club of Utica is pledged to service in the best traditions of Rotary—providing its members with opportunities for fellowship, network and participation in community service projects. During our lunch programs we hear from the area’s community and business leaders on the many initiatives and work happening in the Greater Utica community. Our service projects and commitments range widely, and we sponsor events and causes leveraging our service fund and the passion and dedication of our members. Through our committees we offer Youth Exchange and Internship programs, Community Recognition Award programs, and volunteer opportunities through our Social Justice and Urban Concerns efforts. We believe the ideas of Rotary founded on friendship and service above self are as important today as ever before, and they require the involvement of individuals committed to the betterment of each other and the community. Come visit and learn of the opportunities Rotary offers you to "serve to change lives."
The Inaugural Service Above Self Gala is Rotary Club of Utica's opportunity to honor deserving individuals--members and nonmembers--for their community service as well as raise funds for a worthy cause.
This year's beneficiary of the Service Above Self Gala proceeds is Camp Abilities of Central Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (CABVI). Camp Abilities-CABVI is a youth development program for children and teens that are blind or visually impaired where they discover what they CAN do. The camp engages kids who have low vision to remain physically active by: participating in leisure activities, engaging in physical education classes, using technology, and developing independent living skills that will last a lifetime. To learn more about this CABVI service visit Camp Abilities-CABVI or, even better, watch the terrific video below to hear what the kids say about the camp and what it has done for them.
