NEW THEME HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED!!
2023-24: Create Hope in the World
RI President-elect R. Gordon R. McInally calls for Rotary to create hope in the world by working for peace and mental wellbeing. He urges members to engage in tough conversations and earn the trust that’s necessary to realize these value
During the pandemic our Club was able to set up a Rotary Satellite E-Club and they have been active ever since with commitment to community service and more. Therefore they are the recipients of our COMMINUTY SERVICE AWARD 2022 !!
Thank you PDG Carl Hassett and our own Executive Director Sharon Smith for the hard work in making it all happen!!
I would like to start by thanking every Rotarian in Mid-Bergen and in our district 7490 for being there for those in need.
There are many wonderful people in this club with great energy helping to create a better life for those in need around the world.
Over the years I have been involved with many community groups, but nowhere have I met better people than the members of this club.
I want to thank my husband Cesar and my son JM both of whom helped out a lot during this Journey and also....
- Our board for their commitment to the club, for all their hard work
- Our committees and committee chairs for doing the actual work of the club and for bringing in new members.
- Our club members for rising to the occasion when called upon. Your ongoing support is an inspiration to others.
- Our District Governor John Susani and PDG Carl Hassett for their guidance, positive attitude and encouragement during the last 2 years
- Sharon Smith who put in a lot of time and effort in every aspect of making our Club the number # 1 Rotary Club and who has been my mentor and dear friend getting through with all the hands on hard work during this time.
I am not going to try to highlight all our accomplishments for the past 2 years, but there are a few that must be mentioned.
Our E-Club's commitment to service
Gift of Life initiatives in the country and abroad
Maternity Packages through my own initiative with the Baby Bundle and acquiring DDF fund’s from District in Support of the program so much was done with our PDG Carl Hassett and the Disaster Aid relief in our country and abroad Our Rotarians stepped up during the pandemic to deliver food to healthcare professionals we were there for the domestic abuse victims we took a part in Environmental projects held Toy drives during the holidays we were there with Military assistance and helped disadvantaged people in our community.
Our own Joe Laureni, PDG was so busy writing up Grants with applications in progress for a Gift of Life grant for the Ukraine for sponsoring operations in Ukraine and developing a Pediatric Program in Bolivia - Mid-Bergen & La Paz Sur – hundreds of thousands of dollars are being distributed to help children around the world in saving lives as well as Ruth Nebiar who took her time to travel during the pandemic to make sure the children were able to get the help the needed, so many lives were saved. KUDOS to GIFT OF LIFE and all they do let our Club continue to support this mission as so many lives are saved.
We also did the online auction fund raiser successfully twice to support those in need as we were unable to do our main Beefsteak fundraiser due to the pandemic. Thank you to all who participated and to our incoming President Jill Abbott as she was essential in this fundraiser as well as I must mention that we secured so many SPONSORS who gave us the goods for the auction and we are great full for their continued support.
This last 2 year’s success I can not take all the credit for as our past President Luisa Corallo gave us so much of her time and lead us through the difficult pandemic times.
My main personal goal was for us all to have fun together while supporting the things that matter to us and this has been a rewarding and an inspiring experience.
I thank you for the support you gave me.

Shekhar Mehta, RI President-elect announces 2021-22 presidential theme
Our Mid-Bergen Rotary Club held its first meeting on February 8, 1962 and was originally chartered as the Teterboro Rotary Club, Bergen County, New Jersey. We are now 59 years old!
As the 1960's progressed the club grew with members from surrounding towns of Hasbrouck Heights, Wood-Ridge and South Hackensack thereby prompting to change its name to Mid-Bergen.
Today we are a vibrant club that continue to serve with projects and activities to improve life in our community and world-wide.
Thank you to all members for being there over the years !!
I would like to get some comments from our members of their experiences with the club and or their Rotary Moments.
Thank you to businesses, partners, family and friends who have supported us over the years in our events and fundraising we couldn’t do it without your help!!
