this show were used for many project among which
were scholarships for Mendham High School students.

Rotary solicited local businesses who had supported the show
in the past for funds to support these scholarships this year.
We would like to thank all of them for their loyalty and willing
to support us during this pandemic.

At the Club's annual Christmas party last Saturday, President Adrienne had the pleasure on behalf of the club of awarding a Paul Harris Fellowship to long time Mendham Borough employee Helen Cleary. Helen retired recently after 27 years of service in the Borough offices in Mendham. She worked in many departments over the years but most recently ruled over the Department of Health and the Tax Assessor's office. The first face you always saw when entering the Bowers Building was Helen's welcoming presents. Always polite and helpful with whatever you were looking for. She made gave Mendham a reputation of standing out among municipalities in servicing the town and its residents.
