Oct. 24, 2024 The Magic of Rotary!
We’re trying to improve Zoom presentation!
- If you are attending via Zoom, during the mealtime go into the Breakout Room and you will still be able to converse with others on Zoom. When meal is over, come back to the main room.
- If you have a speaker who wants to present a Power Point or other screen, please have the material sent to Bill Sullivan 24 hours ahead of the meeting. He will then have the presentation ready to share
Reminder: check out our Facebook page for pictures!

Stars and Strides Signup
Clinton has a goal – 40 members of Newark Morning team to support the Bloom Energy Stars and Strides 5k on Saturday, Nov. 9. To register go to:
https://runsignup.com/RaceGroups/136117/Groups/1623608 and click on <team signup> . Have your family members, friends, neighbors, and coworkers join us for a fun family-themed event. Starts at 8 a.m. with race beginning at 9 a.m. You do not have to be a runner to join us. Walkers (and literally walkers and wheelchairs, baby strollers) are welcomed. The event supports veterans and youth.
Dictionaries Ready to go!
If your did not arrange dictionary delivery to your assigned school, please coordinate quickly so the third graders get a good start to their year with their free student dictionary. You do not have to do it all yourself. Just call the school, arrange a date and time and ask for volunteers to help.
Flags to Start Flying
Flags are going up this Saturday morning. All hands are needed to make this go quickly and smoothly. Be at the Newark Reservoir at 9 a.m. Some will be assigned to help at the upper level. We’ve got nearly 500 flags to assemble and place.
Sooooo Close…..
We are just $1,725 shy of meeting the goal of $30,000 for Flags For Heroes this year. Let’s all make a final push. If you did not make a personal contribution, consider doing it now. Any little bit will help. Only 36 more flag sponsorships will make it happen!
Think out of the box!
Creative thinking and hidden talents will make our Silent Auction at the World’s Greatest Meal (Wednesday, Oct. 30) a huge amount of fun. Every member is encouraged to donate SOMETHING. We welcome gift baskets, handmade items, gift cards to local businesses. If you think you a not talented, get you kids to help you with something creative. Nothing will be too stupid – all in great fun – and will contribute to helping wipe out polio. All proceeds for the evening will go to The Rotary Foundation’s PolioPlus program.
Hurricane Helene Donations
We did it! In less than 36 hours, members responded to Robin’s matching challenge and donated $2,300. Along with Robin and Jim’s donation of $2,500, the “fines” of Oct. 3 of $349 and the Club contribution of $1,000, a check for $6149 will be going to Disaster Aid USA for help with Hurricane Helene cleanup. Thank you for your donations.
