VENUE CHANGE!! Our social this evening is moving to Tavern on the Commons 130 E Seneca Street. Unfortunately, the Canopy Hotel is having issues that closed their kitchen and bar today. Spread the word!
 
Join the Ithaca Rotary Club for our FriendsGiving Celebration on November 19 from 5–7 PM at the Canopy Hotel! We’ll gather in friendship and gratitude while collecting high-quality food, household items, and gift cards for local families in need. Donations will be packed into baskets and delivered next week.
The 12th Annual Ithaca Rotary Road Rally is set for Sunday, September 7, 2025, starting at Maguire Imports.
