Rhinebeck Rock the Runway (Aired On November 3 & 4, 2018)

Rotary Clubs are volunteer nonprofits that support local and international
needs in the community service, health, education, nutrition, clean water,
and peace. One event created by the Rhinebeck Rotary to raise money for
these causes is “Rock the Runway,” a fashion show featuring local models
and clothing from Rhinebeck Dept. Store, Winter Sun & Summer Moon,
Darryl's, Willow Wood, Joovay, Pegasus, Williams Lumber, Haldora, and
Elizabeth Boutique, with hair and make-up by Xanadu. Rhinebeck Rotarian
Lou Trapani visits RadioRotary to discuss the event, which will fund such
Rhinebeck Rotary local projects as food banks and Meals on Wheels,
scholarships, and community organization as well as international projects,
including disaster relief and polio eradication. Since Mr. Trapani is also the
Artistic and Managing Director of the Center for Performing Arts at
Rhinebeck, listeners also get a brief introduction to the good work that
organization does.

Rebuilding Children & Community (Aired On October 27 & 28, 2018)

RadioRotary interviews Satara Brown, who founded the nonprofit organization
Rebuilding Our Children and Community and is its Chief Executive Officer. The
organization, which works from Poughkeepsie’s Family Partnership Center,
provides services to children and the community throughout Dutchess Country.
Currently the focus is on providing school supplies for needy children and youth
development, including a summer educational program, and on a support group
for women that each month features women coming together to face such issues
as empowerment as entrepreneurs or development of a positive self-image.
Rebuilding Our Children and Community is a family operation itself, involving
Satara Brown’s parents and siblings in making it work. Ms. Brown began the
organization after spending time working for the Albany community in several
capacities before returning to her native Poughkeepsie.
