LIBERTY, NY (February 14, 2012) – The Liberty Rotary Club was honored by the presence of District Governor Tansukh Dorawala (photo left) at their recent weekly meeting held at Pizza Hut in Liberty.

The meeting with the Liberty Club completed the Governors’ visits to all clubs in District 7210 which spans 5 counties and includes 65 clubs.

Accompanied by his wife Savriti and Assistant District Governor (ADG) Karen Fitzpatrick, Governor Tansukh addressed the group by talking about his goals for his tenure, the experiences he has had as the district governor, how far reaching Rotary is and the good the organization does for the world. He was impressed with the work of the Liberty Rotary Club and spoke about the positive reputation the club has in reference to the service and programs that have benefited from donations and participation. “It was a pleasure hosting the governor and hearing his inspirational address to our club” said Liberty Rotary Club’s President Dave Thomson.

The Liberty Rotary Club is part of Rotary International, which is the world’s first service club organization with over 1.2 million members who volunteer their time and talent to further the Rotary motto “Service Above Self.” In 2011 the club sponsored numerous fundraisers raising over $12,000.

The monies raised were donated to local, regional and international organizations and local youth programs. The club has also provided college scholarships to graduating seniors as well as sponsoring students to attend the Rotary Youth Leadership Academy (RYLA).
