The Rotary Foundation Walk 2020 in Kingston was held at the Lemoine Point Conservation Area and it raised $1100 for the Rotary Foundation
 
The Rotary Foundation Walk for District 7040 was scheduled for Saturday, 9 May 2020 in Canton, New York. But due to the social distancing restrictions, the walk was not permitted. However, a small but dedicated group of Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Kingston-Frontenac braved the cold weather and participated in a small groups (no more than four) walk at the Lemoine Point Conservation Area in Kingston. A total of $1100 was raised for the Rotary Foundation that day. Thank you for the walkers and supporters for making this possible in these difficult circumstances.
