Most of us marvel at those people who seem to effortlessly recall everyone's name, deliver a speech without looking at notes, or retain, over time, much of the information they read or hear. Well, according to memory expert, Matthew Goerke, such a memory is not necessarily a gift at birth, but the result of training - and he has been delivering that training to thousands of business men and women, public speakers and celebrities for years.
Hillsborough’s Social Services Department had some 30 elves on hand Wednesday evening to help sort and pack gifts for Hillsborough families in need. Members of the Rotary Club of Hillsborough, joined by their family members, friends, and Boy Scouts, helped make sure that each of the family members that were signed up with the Social Services Department’s support program had ample gifts to celebrate the holiday season. Families also receive food from the Town’s Food Pantry, along with gift cards, including $4,000 in Kohls gift cards donated by the Rotary Club of Hillsborough.
“We can all use a helping hand from time to time,” commented Rotary Club of Hillsborough President, Greg Burchette. “Giving back to our community is part of our Club’s DNA, and this Hillsborough holiday packing event is very special to us.”
Manville Third-Graders Receive Lesson in Charity from Rotary Club of Hillsborough
Continuing one of its longest running annual traditions, the Rotary Club of Hillsborough distributed free dictionaries to Manville’s third-graders on Friday, December 7, ensuring that all Hillsborough and Manville children will have easy access to a tool that will serve them well throughout their academic careers. The children, who were learning about caring this month in school, were asked to look up the word “charity,” which Rotary Club of Hillsborough President,Greg Burchette, explained was key to the mission of Rotary.

Oliver Fogarty, a Manville third grader) learned a valuable lesson in charity at the Friday morning assembly on December 7. Every Roosevelt school third-grader received her/his own copy of a Webster’s Dictionary from the Rotary Club of Hillsborough.
