This summer, the Sayville Rotary Club continued its Summer Lunch Box Program, helping provide lunch to kids during the summer months. With the support of Our Lady of the Snow and Sayville Library, lunch boxes were packed each week and distributed through the Sayville Food Pantry. Students entering grades 6–12 volunteered their time to help pack the boxes, demonstrating the true spirit of Service Above Self and giving back to our community.
Sayville Rotary continues its commitment to protecting the Great South Bay through its oyster restoration project at the Sayville Yacht Club. Throughout the summer, Rotarians and volunteers work together to clean, count and care for young oysters as they grow. In the fall, with support from Cornell Cooperative Extension, the mature oysters are transferred to the Great South Bay, where they help naturally filter and improve the health of our local waters. Now in its fourth year, the project is a great example of community members working together to make a lasting environmental impact.
The Rotary Club of Sayville partnered with Sayville High School students during Community Service Day to create the Positivity Rock Project. With supplies donated by Sayville Rotary, students painted rocks with kind, encouraging messages and bright designs.
These keepsake rocks will be placed throughout Rotary Park, and other locations for children to find and take home. It’s a small, meaningful way to add a bit of positivity to the park while highlighting the students’ commitment to giving back to their community.
Members of Rotary District 7255, including the Rotary Club of Sayville, gathered in Memphis from April 30 to May 3 for the 2026 District Conference. Highlights included Lydia Wells, District Governor, receiving a peace pole from RYLA in honor of her husband Rich, Mike Dawidziak speaking about the Rollstone Foundation, the Governor’s entrance, and a lively mix of midday beer, BBQ, and blues. Between fellowship and fun, attendees shared ideas, celebrated service, and returned home inspired to continue living “Service Above Self”. 
The Rotary Club of Sayville held its Earth Day Community Clean-Up on Saturday, April 25, in the morning across West Sayville, Bayport, and Sayville. Club members participated at all three locations. The effort supported ongoing local stewardship and community involvement.
Huge congratulations to Jenny Lin, our newly named Student of the Season from the Bayport-Bluepoint Interact Club! It was an honor to present Jenny with her award and gift today.
The Rotary Club of Sayville celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Peace Pole Movement. This project was started 50 years ago on November 22nd by Rotary International as part of its peace and conflict resolution area of focus.
Once again, with the help of Rotarian Jonathan Pryer, the Sayville Library and Teens from Sayville Schools, we were able to begin our Summer Lunchbox Program. We aim to provide kid-friendly lunches to students who receive free lunch when school is in session, but who could use some extra lunch foods during summer vacation time. Four times during July and August, Sayville Rotary members shop for supplies. Students then help pack 25 cartons of food, twice a month, to be distributed to families through the Sayville Food Pantry. It’s a win-win for all:)
