Today, our Rotary club speaker PDG Dominic Jengo presented a program called Wheelchair Foundation UK where wheelchairs are purchased and delivered to those in need anywhere in the world. Our club donated three wheel chairs in remembrance of our three Rotarians who passed away within the last year: Fred Schmidt, Al Sproul, and Serge Krikorian.
We had a great time at today's luncheon as we awarded scholarships to a number of deserving local high school students! One of our best meetings of the year!
For Arbor Day this year we as a club, along with our Interact Club, donated two trees to the High School!
The Hackensack Rotary is honored to participate in the Annual Memorial Day ceremony by presenting a wreath.
Each year we make grants available to local charitable causes. We also make mini grants available to elementary school teachers to provide educational workshops for their students. This year, one of our mini grants was used for a workshop on metamorphosis. These elementary students watched as caterpillars turned into butterflies!
Last year the Hackensack Rotary planted two trees on Arbor Day in front of the Hackensack High School. This year we will install plaques to remember the event. Thanks to GTFM LLC for supplying the labor and material for the plaques which were presented to us today at our meeting.
