Due to the time and efforts of the Rockaway Rotary Club and the generosity of club members, the staff and students from the Rockaway Borough Schools and Divine Mercy Academy, and Rockaway area residents, many needy families will be able to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner this year. This past Saturday, in support of the Rockaway Food Closet, members of the Rockaway Rotary Club collected frozen turkeys, bags of groceries, and cash donations to help Rockaway families who are struggling to pay their bills and are unable to stretch their budgets far enough to purchase the traditional Thanksgiving items. The ideal of ‘Service” is thriving in Rockaway Rotary and our Rockaway communities. We thank all of the community members who contributed to our efforts to assist those less fortunate.
On Friday evening, November 18th, members of our club attended the annual President's/Foundation Ball at the Mayfair Farms in West Orange. The President's/Foundation Ball is a yearly event where all clubs are encouraged to participate to support, cheer, and applaud their club's current president for all their work, effort and enthusiasm they exhibit. Along with Presidents from throughout the district, President Sheila was recognized and thanked for her service as club president this year. This year we also celebrated the 100th Anniversary of the Rotary Foundation honoring clubs and individuals for their contributions to the great work of the Foundation.
