We’ve got a Foundation!

After years of talking about it, Clinton made it happen! Newark Morning Rotary Foundation is now official! Sponsors for Flags For Heroes will now be eligible for tax deductions!  Clinton is working on a separate credit card company for accepting Foundation money online.
Sign up to honor Evelyn!
Be part of our “Evelyn Hayes Walkers” team at Stars and Strides on Nov. 14. The 5K at Bloom Energy raises funds to support our military and families. You can run or walk with our team. Even Evelyn, at the age of 81 and fighting lung cancer, participated in the event. What’s your excuse?
FFH Sponsor Deadline
Deadline for payment and signup to be a sponsor of Flags For Heroes is Oct. 15. You can find the info at nmrde.org, look for Flags For heroes, then sponsorship and payment info. Ylou can pay directly on line or via check. Let’s get new sponsors!
Why donate to Flags For Heroes?
Yes, we all pay RI, district 7630, and club dues as well as voluntarily participate in 50/50 and Happy Dollars.  But none of this goes toward supporting the community. All of the profits from FFH goes directly to organizations that help those in need – our veterans, active duty military, youth, and future Heroes. Your business or company can be a sponsor, you personally can be a sponsor, or you can individually honor a personal hero with a flag. Last year we raised more than $30,000. See pages 26 and 27 in the 2026 Report to Our Community.
Want good Speakers?
This Rotary year Cheryl Ernst will be coordinating the monthly coordinators for weekly programs. Please volunteer one of the next 12 months to arrange two speakers. Cheryl has the calendar with dates available. If you can’t commit for 2 speakers but have a good one available, let Cheryl know and she can fill that person in one week of the schedule.
Best Wishes to Ed Gossett
Ed has decided to take a step away from Rotary for a while. Life just got in the way! We thank him for all the energy and time he gave to our efforts not only as a member of our club but also to the district. Ed, you are always welcome to return when the time is right!
Sept. 24 –  50/50 Winner: Dan Seador !
