On Tuesday, August 7th, the Rockaway Rotary Club will participate in the annual “National Night Out” in Rockaway Borough. This nationwide crime and drug prevention event is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) and co-sponsored locally by the Rockaway Borough Police Department. Contact PP Sheila Seifert or President Rod Seifert to volunteer for this event.
On Wednesday, August 8th, Rockaway Rotary will participate in Service Club Day at Camp Merry Heart. The clubs of our district have been supporting Camp Merry Heart since 1952, providing the upkeep of buildings, donating camper scholarships and much needed supplies. Rotary is an important component of the camp’s success. The day will begin with a carnival for the campers and Rotary members from 3:00 to 5:00 PM. Rockaway Assembly of God Church are allowing us to again utilize their popcorn machine for the carnival. Contact PP George Berry or President Rod Seifert to assist with our efforts on this important day. Camp Merry Heart is located at 21 O’Brien Road in Hackettstown, NJ.
On Saturday, August 18th, Rockaway Rotary will again participate at the distribution of school supplies during the Rockaway “Back-To-School” Program at the United Methodist Church. Due to our contributions and help, many students in our communities will be able to start the school year with a new backpack and the essential supplies to make their school year a success. As always, we will be manning the grills cooking the burgers and hot dogs during the distribution. Contact Chairperson PP Sheila Seifert to volunteer to work a shift at this event.
