SERVICE ABOVE SELF,
ONE PROFITS MOST WHO SERVES BEST
AND THE FOUR-WAY TEST.

The two phrases that have served as official mottos of Rotary get

to the heart of what it means to be a Rotarian from different

directions. But service lies at their core. Because service is what

Rotary is all about. Both mottos had their origins at the second

convention of the National Association of Rotary Clubs of America,

in Portland, Oregon, in 1911. In 1989, Service Above Self was

approved as the principal Rotary motto, because it conveys

best the philosophy of unselfish volunteer service.

Against the backdrop of this foundation, perhaps

the most important ethical framework the world

has ever known, the Four Way Test, was born.

Going the Distance for Bike Safety.

The 2015 Bike Rally. Just one of many community projects with Brighton Rotarians driving them.

For the fifth year in a row, Brighton Rotarians, in partnership with the Brighton Police Department, put on a Bike Rally for bike safety. It was a new opportunity for parents and children to bring their bikes (and trikes) to the Twelve Corners Presbyterian Church parking lot to have them inspected for safety. Brake pad alignment. Tire pressure. Chain tension. Especially important for parents, checking to ensure that all children have the right sized helmet. Be sure to check out the many other ways Brighton Rotarians make an impact in the Brighton, and greater Rochester, communities every day.

Restoring Our Heritage

$100,000 Raised To Restore Historic Buckland Farmhouse.

The Buckland Farmstead is a house that best represents the growth of

the town of Brighton from the settlement period to the modern age.

It began as a very small house and grew as the size and the needs of its

families increased. And of course it is important historically because

I of its long association with the Buckland family. n 1997, the Town of Brighton

purchased the house and thirty-two acres of the farm, now known as the

Buckland Farmstead. And Brighton Rotary teamed up with The Town

and The State of New York, raising $100,000 of the $400,000 cost

to rehabilitate the house, enhance its historic features and bring about

an adaptive re-use of the building. The official ribbon-cutting ceremony

for the House took place September 8, 2007.

An Essential Foodlink Link

Our appetite for sorting food donations never goes away.

Foodlink is a regional food hub and food bank serving the 10-county Rochester area

that, in 2014, distributed over 18 million pounds of food! And with a good

percentage of donated food in slightly damaged boxes and containers, it all needs

to be sorted, to keep the good and discard the bad. That process is done by

volunteers like Brighton Rotarians, who make Foodlink a twice-a-year project

that’s fun for everyone. And helps satiate an entire community.

Go!

It’s Pancake Day!

Let Your Appetite Fuel Our Service

To The Community.

It’s all you can eat. It’s breakfast. Lunch. Dinner.

And it’s become a Brighton tradition. A time to

catch up with neighbors. Reconnect with old friends.

Over a short stack and sausage. And coffee. Not

enough? Ask for more. And while you’re there,

be sure to check out the posters from the over 100

businesses who regularly sponsor Pancake Day.

Best of all, you can break your diet confident

that make our community a better place to live.
