Club assisted “Where Angels Play Foundation” with a sizable cash gift to build an active children’s playground on the Elizabeth water front. It is active with a variety of children’s interactive stations. One of the features is the equipment are all in the form of Elizabeth Fire Department trucks and face to the Northeast where the Twin Towers once stood. Many members of the Club attended the dedication ceremony.

Water and sanitation, one of Rotary’s six areas of focus, is a local concern of global importance. Meeting these basic needs continues to be a fundamental problem in developing countries.
 

Shelter Box Project
ShelterBox is an international relief charity that provides immediate assistance to people affected by disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, flooding, hurricanes, cyclones, tsunamis, or conflict.ShelterBox provides shelter, lifesaving equipment, and educational materials to hard-hit communities worldwide.
 

Polio Plus Project
This is a signature Rotary International project to rid the world of the dreaded polio virus. Since 1985 the Elizabeth Rotary Club has been deeply involved in immunization projects, fund raising projects, public announcement and TV spots promoting immunization. We have sponsored 2 Elizabeth Rotarians for an immunization trip to West Africa to distribute vaccine. The project has been enormously successful in reducing polio cases. When started there were approximately 375,000 report polio cases today less than 100.
