Due to the time and efforts of the Rockaway Rotary Club and the generosity of Rockaway area residents, many needy families will be able to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner this year. This Saturday, in support of the Rockaway Food Closet, members of the Rockaway Rotary Club collected frozen turkeys, bags of groceries, and cash donations to help Rockaway families who are struggling to pay their bills and are unable to stretch their budgets far enough to purchase the traditional Thanksgiving items. The ideal of ‘Service” is thriving in Rockaway Rotary and our Rockaway communities. We thank all of the community members who contributed to our efforts to assist those less fortunate.
At our November 15, 2017 lunch meeting, the Rockaway Rotary Club honored Jake Montefusco from Thomas Jefferson Middle School in Rockaway Borough as the club's Student of the Marking Period.
