Saturday, November 20th, the Rotary Club of the Rockaways held its annual Turkey Drive at the Rockaway Assembly of God to provide frozen turkeys and non-perishable food items to the Rockaway Food Closet. Thanks to the kindness of our wonderful community and volunteers from Morris Hills High School, we were able to collect 55 turkeys and a vanload of fixings for the Rockaway Food Pantry. 
At our Breakfast Meeting on October 7th, Rockaway Rotarians and friends prepared 336 dictionaries for our annual distribution to all the third-graders in Rockaway Borough and Township schools as a part of Rotary's ongoing support of education at home and abroad.
