If I can’t use my platform on Hamptons.com to highlight the Westhampton Rotary Club’s annual Spaghetti Dinner—one of those feel-good, community fundraisers that actually moves the needle—what am I even doing?
This year’s Spaghetti Dinner has been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 14, 4-8 pm, and will be hosted at The Baby Moon Restaurant in Westhampton Beach. And if you’re in the mood for takeout, the Westhampton Rotary Club is happy to pack up your meal so you can enjoy it in the comfort of your home.
The event features Chef Carlo’s famous spaghetti and meatballs, plus salad, rolls, coffee, and dessert—the full comfort-food lineup that feels like winter on the East End should.
Tickets are intentionally affordable (and unchanged from last year): $30 for adults // $20 for children 12 and under.
You can grab tickets at Lynne’s Cards & Gifts, Rubio Premier Motors, Baby Moon, Palmer & Purchase, and Dr. Mauro DiBenedetto’s office—or through any Westhampton Rotary Club member.
And a pro tip: bring cash if you want in on the Super Bowl Pool or the 50/50 raffle. Those are often half the fun, and yes, people get competitive.
If you ever wonder what Rotary does, it’s the original social network. Long before group chats and “community pages,” Rotarians were quietly showing up, raising money, and ensuring that local programs stayed funded. Odds are, someone you know is a Rotarian—or has benefited from something Rotary helped make happen. Now in its 73rd year, the Westhampton Rotary Club proudly adheres to the “5 Pillars of Rotary” — Service Above Self, Integrity, Leadership, Diversity, and Fellowship.
That’s why this dinner is worth supporting. Proceeds from the dinner support:
-
Bob Knotoff Food Pantry
-
Scholarship funds for local students
-
Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck, a local camp for disabled children
Rotary also stays active year-round—partnering with Suffolk County’s Adopt-a-Highway program to keep roads clean, and collaborating with other civic groups. Love to see local clubs supporting each other, too: Westhampton Rotary often teams up with the Westhampton Kiwanis and the Knights of Columbus on community efforts.
If you’re looking for an easy way to do something local, social, and genuinely helpful—while eating spaghetti that has clearly earned its reputation—put it on the calendar.
