Ulster LLC, is seeking to create a

The Highland Rotary Club recently
held their annual Awards Dinner at
Novellas Restaurant in New Paltz.
Member Tony Marmo highlighted the
Rotary’s achievements.
“Rotary International is a great
brotherhood and sisterhood that has
1.2 million members participating in
35,000 clubs in 161 countries. It makes
the world a smaller place. It makes
it a peaceful place and Rotarians get
involved.”
Member Steve Laubach, who is
