On the night that is, on average, the coldest of the year, 15 Rotarians from 3 clubs joined the YWCA Coldest Night of the Year Walk to raise money for the Transitions Supportive Housing Program in Jamestown. The Rotary Club of Jamestown, the Rotary Club of Greater Jamestown AM, and the Rotary Club of Falconer joined together as Team Rotary to raise over $2,500 from over 50 sponsors.
