A buddy bench is a special bench placed in playgrounds or schoolyards designed to help children who are feeling lonely or isolated. If a child is sitting on the buddy bench, it signals to others that they may need a friend to play with. The idea is to encourage social inclusion, kindness, and empathy, allowing children to notice when their peers need support and inviting them to join in play or conversation. It’s a simple yet effective way to promote friendship and ensure no child feels left out. Spencerport Rotary donated benches to the Bernabi and Taylor Elementary Schools.

Throughout India and around the world, Rotary clubs are celebrating a major milestone: India has gone three years without a new case of polio. The last reported case was a two-year-old girl in West Bengal on 13 January 2011. To mark this historic triumph, Rotary clubs illuminated landmarks and iconic structures throughout the country with four simple but powerful words, "India is polio free."
