Meal Packing to be rescheduled
Unfortunately we have to reschedule the Meal Packing event to the Fall when University students are back on campus. You can still make a personal donation to Rise Against Hunger at their website to help combat hunger around the world.
AD Campaign OVER!
This year’s Report brought in about $38,000 in ads, short of our goal but still respectable. If you have any advertisers with outstanding payment, please encourage them to settle as soon as possible.
Spending the Flag Money
Nearly in tears three volunteers with Beds 4 Vets accepted a check for $4000 last week. If you were not there, you missed a powerful presentation. We also gave a check for $4000 to Newark PAL president Lt. Greg D’Elia to support their traveling PAL center. We will be sponsoring several of their programs this summer.
District Grant for 2023-24
Utilizing resources with Mandella Fellows from 2022, we will be submitting a district grant application to supply menstral kits to young ladies in Nigeria, with Doris, Evelyn, and Robin leading the project. Doris has already made contact with one Fellow, identified a local Rotary club to assist, and has one physician Rotarian to help with the project. Many young girls are not attending school one week per month because they do not have menstral supplies. When the application is initially completed, we will share with the members for any additional ideas or suggestions.
Adopting a Future Playground
Our Board of Directors recently approved our club being sponsors of the soon-to-be-built Old Papermill Road Playground through the city’s Adopt A Park program. When construction is completed later this year, we will schedule regular trash pickup, monitoring of equipment for potential repairs, and reporting any issues we see happening. We got our name in there before another local club!
Rotaract, Interact, Satellite, Corporate, IMPACT clubs
What is the difference? How do they work? Who are the members? How often do clubs meet? Stay tuned for the explanation.

What do you call male cows taking a trip on an airplane?
A bull flight!
