THE ROTARY CLUB OF GREENPORT, NY

The Greenport Rotary Club Chapter

…… Service Above Self.

Over the last seven years, our Club has been focused on the resurrection and restoration of the Greenport Express miniature train. And we are now there! See below to learn more about the Grand Opening!

The Greenport Express has been a huge project over the last seven years and it all began as the vision of Joe Cherepowich, a long time member of the Greenport Rotary Club. After Joe’s passing in 2020, Rich Israel stepped forward and assumed the lead role in making Joe’s dream come true.

In the end, Rich Israel and the Greenport Rotary Club have raised an eye-popping $700,00 in cash donations plus another $350,000 in goods and services to bring the Greenport Express to fruition.

As the Village is responsible for ongoing operation of the Greenport Express, please contact Greenport Village for information about operating hours and cost.

Please come join us on Tuesdays at the Hellenic Snack Bar at 7:45 AM for breakfast and see what we do. We are People of Action so prepare to be amazed!
