The Annual Berkeley Heights Rotary Club Scholarship Dinner was held on June 12 at Delicious Heights.  Rotary members welcomed Julietta Stavoiu, Sarah Gleeson and Olivia Escott and their parents for their award presentations and scholarship checks.  Each recipient gave a brief update on their future plans.  Congratulations to all!

 

On Sunday, June 9 the Berkeley Heights Rotary Club again participated in the annual Block Party on Springfield Ave.  Participants of the block party were invited to submit their guesses as to how many rubber ducks, lollipops and assorted candies were in a jug.  Massive amounts of guesses were made.  The winner of the guess the number of items in the container is Varsha Jain of Springfield, NJ with a guess of 690. The correct number of items in the container was 686.  Thanks to all that participated!

 

Once again the Rotary Club of Berkeley Heights served hot dogs to the masses at the Annual Memorial Day Parade.  The hot dogs were greatly appreciated by the attendees and participants of the parade.  A good time was had by all!

At the most recent lunch meeting of the Berkeley Heights Rotary Club members were afforded the opportunity to learn about the Summit Speech School.  Mr. Ray Dorso, Executive Director of the Summit Speech School made the presentation about the non-profit and let us know everything the school offers to hearing impaired children.  Especially interesting was the technology advances that have been made to assist the children with hearing loss.  

 

Members of the community who are interested in joining the Berkeley Heights Rotary Club are always welcome to attend a lunch meeting and learn about what Rotary does on the local, national and international levels.  Rotary meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays at 12:15p at Delicious Heights.
