Cherry Valley Country Club is still not ready for us. We are actively looking for an interim outdoor location where we can meet temporarily until regular meetings can be safely resumed. In the meantime, we are doing Zoom meetings at 7:30AM on Thursday. The Zoom meeting link will be emailed out to all members a few days prior.
On April 3rd, the Rotary Club of Montgomery/Rocky Hill and the Montgomery Business Association teamed up to feed our front line hospital and emergency workers while also supporting small, local food establishments. The project was dubbed, “COVID-19 Support – Grab & Go Lunches for Frontline Workers.”
The program will come to an end on Friday June 19th. We made deliveries on 68 days (6 days a week) by a volunteer driver. Each delivery included at least 50 Grab & Go lunches prepared by a local food establishment. Deliveries were made to one of 3 hospital locations: RWJ Somerset, RWJ New Brunswick or Penn Medicine Plainsboro. We were also able to purchase sweet treats from a local baker and chocolatier that we included with meal deliveries and shared with Montgomery Police, Fire & EMS workers. Members of the community also donated drinks, chips, cookies to the local food establishment to include with the Grab & Go meals. Many a food establishment added extra meals as a thank you to the frontline workers. A local Girl Scout Troop provided thank you notes for hospital workers that we also delivered.
At our last meeting, Sharon Prosinski discussed the needs facing one of the organizations who we have supported over the last few years, the Simuel Whitfield Simmons organization. If you can possibly help. please mail a check to:
By POPULAR demand, we have re-opened our Rotary Club Store!
A few Rotarians have asked for the ability to purchase items for family members or other items for their Rotary wardrobe. The store will only be open until Sunday June 28th, so act quickly. Shipping is free, if you choose the ship to store option. Items will be available for pickup at a Rotary meeting or Montgomery location.
The Grab & Go program will be wrapping up at the end of this week. This program has been an overwhelming success. Thanks go out to Cory Wingerter for his vision and for bringing this program to our club. Very special thanks go out to Lisa Youngberg and her family as well as all of our delivery volunteers. This program would not have been as successful without their tireless efforts. Lisa, Kent, Matt, Drew & Amanda, on behalf of our club, I want to thank you for all that you’ve done to make this program a great success. You were all amazing! We can’t thank you enough. Amanda, fantastic job on the videos! Thank you all for your inspiration and for demonstrating the true meaning of service above self.
