Every Christmas, Coudersport Rotarians are anonymously given the age, sizes, gift desired and favorite color, of students in need at Coudersport Elementary School. Rotarians shop and bring gifts to our annual Christmas party and then Rotarian John Abplanalp brings them to the elementary school for distribution to the students. This year, Rotarians were pleased to gift 24 students.
Every year for the past several decades, elementary school students in the Coudersport Area School District have brought food donations to the Coudersport Theatre in exchange for admission into a holiday movie to begin their Thanksgiving break. Long-time Coudersport Rotary member John Rigas and the Rigas family have provided the students this opportunity to help others while enjoying a movie treat. This popular event was in jeopardy this year with the closure of the Theatre during the pandemic. Rigas did not want to deprive the students of the movie nor the Coudersport Food Pantry of the needed supplies. Rigas offered to provide each student with a pass to a movie once the theater reopens. The students and the co-sponsor of the project, The Coudersport Rotary Club, responded with great enthusiasm as numerous boxes were collected during Thanksgiving week and delivered to the Food Pantry on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The Rotary Club thanks the Coudersport Theatre, John Rigas and family, along with all of the participating students and staff of the Coudersport Area School District for continuing with this project despite the obstacles encountered and for living up to the motto of Rotary, “Service above Self.”
