Nov. 7, 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!

Welcome newest members: Margo McDonough, Bob Older, and Nick Miles!
This week’s program will be held at Delaware Military Museum, One Regiment Road, Wilmington DE 19808. Breakfast will be provided.
We answered the call!
Thank you to everyone who donated an item, bid on items, and brought someone else to the World’s Greatest Meal last week. We raised $3,324 toward the eradication of Polio. The Silent Auction winnings totaled $2,217. The fines, happy dollars, and extra donations helped put us over the top of our goal of $3,000. Special thanks to Laurie Williams and Cindi Vivano for their leadership and coordination.
Stars and Strides Signup – Last Chance
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:

The event supports veterans and youth..
Sooooo Close….. but still time to donate
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!
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 $6,149 will be going to Disaster Aid USA for help with Hurricane Helene cleanup. Thank you for your donations.
