At Thanksgiving we are thankful for all the blessings we have received. Yet there are also those who do not have a square meal. Our Club joined in with our sister Club - the Rotary Club of Yonkers-East Yonkers to bring a little Thanksgiving joy to some families.For the last few years, the Yonkers East Yonkers Club has been giving turkeys to the families of children at the Hostos Micro-Society School in Yonkers. This year they were providing 13 turkeys. One of our club members provided a donation to add five more turkeys to the gift of joy. These turkeys will provide the recipient families with a Thanksgiving meal and perhaps a few more leftover meals too. On behalf of the Club, Adviser Bina Ahmad handed over the turkeys to Rotarian Barbara Hanna of the Yonkers-East Yonkers Club on Wednesday, 25 November for delivery to the School.
The Hostos Micro-Society School administration held a raffle among the families of the children who would benefit most from this gift. Our Club firmly believes in participating in projects which will benefit our local community as well as communities across the world. In the true spirit of Rotary every little bit helps. As volunteers, individually we can only do so much. But together as Rotarians, we can change our world.
. It is so appropriate that at the beginning of the month, the Club has its first Paul Harris Fellow. In less than a year of existence, this is a great step forward in helping make the world a better place for all. 
Great News!. Our Club's first District Grant-funded Community Project has just been approved. It is an important achievement for a club that is not even a year old. 
23rd August 2019. An important day for our 8-month-old Club. President S. Zaki Hossain and his team were installed by District Governor Mahbub Ahmad for a 2-year term. Among the new Club Officers were Sam Rahat-Muqtadir (CEO, Town MD) as Vice-President and Dr. Nazrul Islam as Executive Secretary. Mati Pal continues as Treasurer, as does Rahat Hossain, (CEO, Pintail Coffee) as Membership Director. Immediate Past President M. Nurul Alam is the new Club Rotary Foundation Director, while Tabin Ahmad stays on as Technology Director.
District Governor Mahbub Ahmad paid his first official visit to the Club on Sunday 14 July. Addressing the members, the Governor provided a brief history of Rotary and highlighted the 2019-20 Theme “Rotary Connects the World”. He shared the Rotary vision and asked members to involve their families and help grow Rotary.

The HeritageNY Rotary e-Club had the second largest contingent at the District Team Installation on Sunday 23 July, at the picturesque American Yacht Club in Rye, NY. The bright sunny day heralded not only the beginning of the new Rotary Year and a new District Leadership Team, but also the beginning of the first full year of our new fledgling club.
Crowning the HeritageNY group's presence was the outstanding presentation by one of the youngest Rotarians present. Raaid Ahmad, Head of Data Science and Analytics of the Blockchain Group at Facebook and the son of incoming District Governor Mahbub Ahmad and District First Lady Bina Ahmad, spoke about how Rotary can get the younger generation interested in Rotary's Service Above Self motto. He presented a new look at the 4-way Test and demonstrated how it can be made more appealing and relevant to the new generation. He said we can all be together in service without sacrificing the original core values and core principles of Rotary. He highlighted the example of MIcrosoft - how it became relevant again as the leading business entity by taking stock of the changes that had taken place in its world and rethinking and retooling its business model - all without sacrificing its original core product.
