Over 110 cards were delivered to Cornell Nursing Home in an effort to spread warmth to those people who have given so much to others. As one of the members stated, "It feels so good to spend some time doing something for others."
 
Union Rotarians Honors Educators with Sweet Gesture
Posted by Kathleen Arminio on Sep 26, 2022
Members of the Rotary Club of Union gathered to assemble "sweet treats" for teachers in the Union Public Schools. They made baskets filled with goodies for the teachers and staff in the ten schools in the district. Each basket, accompanied with a handwritten note of appreciation for all the work and time the employees devote to the children, was delivered to the schools for the staff and teachers' enjoyment. The Union Club wanted to honor those in education since September is Rotary's Basic Education and Literacy Month.
Socktober with Union Rotary, Hillmann and Union HS Interact Club
Now that summer is over, we’re looking ahead to cooler (not colder!) weather and pumpkin spice lattes. 
 
To help our fellow citizens, we are collecting socks, beginning now through the month of October, to donate to area shelters.
For those who don’t know what this awesome service project entails, we simply purchase nice, new, fuzzy warm socks for folks who may be in need.  It’s really that simple. 
 
You may drop them off at Hillmann, bring them with you to our Thursday meeting, or order online and have them shipped directly to the address below.
Thank you, as always, for striving to make a difference in the lives of others.

Union High School Interact Club Advisor
Members of the Union and Maplewood Rotary Club recently heard a presentation by Dr. Ed Boffa, .
The Interact Club, affiliated with the Rotary Club of Union, encourages students to place service above self. Dr. Boffa highlighted some of the activities of the Interact Club.
In the 2021-22 school year, the students collected 1,099 pairs of new socks, which, in conjunction with the Union Rotary Club, were delivered to the Union YMCA for distribution to shelters in Elizabeth. The students assisted the Maplewood Rotary Club with their annual Christmas Tree sale fundraiser. The students also raised and donated $750 to the Children's Specialized Hospital Foundation, ran a book drive and collected 185 books for underprivileged NJ children, participated in the Color-a-Smile program, and supported the Kiva Loan Program in association with the Union Rotary to aid those in underprivileged countries.
The Rotary Club of Union appreciates all of the good work accomplished by the students of Union High School Interact Club under the advisement of Dr. Boffa!
Union Rotary's Eloquence Soiree Succeeds Beyond Words
What an amazing night! Our club was thrilled to be with everyone last night for our Eloquence Soirée where we awarded scholarships to three Union High School Students and honored Jill Hall and the incredible nurses of Union Township School District.
Benjamin Duvelson, Ojuolape Odusanya, and Mya Wilkins took our breath away with their speeches/poems and we were so happy to award them with three well-deserved scholarships. They are a great representation of the talented youth of Union High School.
We can't thank Jill Hall and the Nurses of Union Township School District enough for all that they do. In the last few years they have proven how strong and dedicated they are to protecting our children, and for that we are forever grateful. It was our pleasure to recognize the extraordinary people that they are.
Thank you to our amazing event committee, club members, and guests who helped make the evening such a success. We loved being in the company of so many smiling faces and we can't wait to see everyone again next year!

For the month of December, the members donated new pajamas and collected a total of 15 sets, two pants and one pair of shorts. Sharon Brangman, Geralanne Maglione and Kylie Nemeth at Hillman Consulting collected and sorted the donations. Cecil Cates delivered the pajamas to the Elizabeth Corp of the Salvation Army where they were distributed to needy adults and children.
