BACK TO SCHOOL PROJECT
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.  Rockaway Rotary provides the funds to purchase the backpacks for this project.  As always, we also 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.
