At our weekly luncheon meeting on March 1, 2017, the Rotary Club of the Rockaways hosted an Awards Celebration. Honored were the Food Closet of Rockaway with a $600 donation, Saint Peter’s Orphanage of Denville with a $600 donation and Gift of Life NJ with a $900 donation. The funds were raised at the Valentines Wine Tasting Event held on January 28th at The Mission at Rockaway. More than 75 Rotarians and non-Rotarians attended the event which included wines from four different regions of the world and great food, both supplied and catered by Shop Rite of Parsippany. Several gift baskets and a 50/50 raffle rounded out an evening of fun, fellowship and great exposure for Rotary.
