The Morristown Rotary teamed with the Morris Plains Rotary this May to help the Interfaith Food Pantry. Post Office Letter Carriers collected food donations on their routes and brought them to the Ridgedale Avenue facility. Our mission, if we chose to accept ("Mission Impossible" – the one with Peter Graves and Leonard Nimoy), was to transport those donations to the Food Pantry on Executive Drive in Morris Plains.
We had never done this before. We had NO IDEA how much food would be collected. We had NO IDEA how much manpower would be required. Top Dog spent the previous week recruiting a team and simultaneously fretted that the team was too big and too small. What if there was so little that we had embarrassingly too many bodies? What if we did not have enough? How many vehicles would we need? How do we load and unload? | |
Thanks to Morristown Rotarian Photographer, David Shapiro, for these great photos of our Club's members and families at Morristown's Parade.

As President of Morristown Rotary, I want to share my thanks with each of you for your part in another successful Taste of Morristown. For the last 10 years this annual fundraiser has challenged our Club's membership with numerous duties; from selling tickets and soliciting sponsorships to setting up, running, and breaking down the event. Through many long committee meetings, and a few anxious moments, the pieces slowly came together and culminated into the fabulous event we held this past Monday.
Over fifty restaurants, distributors, and purveyors served over 500 guests and helped our Club raise over $28,000 towards the programs and charities we support. This could not have been completed with out the efforts of you, our membership.

P.J. Thurkauf, president of the Morristown Rotary Club, recently announced that the Rotary has awarded the Morris Educational Foundation a grant of $5,000 to be designated for parent education programs in the Morris School District. The funds will be disseminated to schools in the district throughout the 2011-2012 school year. | |
Morristown Rotary Club supports Polio Plus with a $5,000 contribution. Polio Plus is Rotary International's program to eradicate polio worldwide. In the photo that follows, Club President-Elect Rusty Schommer presents Morristown Rotary Club's $5000 check to Karien Ziegler at a recent luncheon meeting. Through the generosity of an anonymous donor, the $5,000 Rotary award was matched to become $10,000. | | Posted by P. J. Thurkauf
Those at last week's Luncheon witnessed one of the most fun things I get to do as President of the Morristown Rotary Club ... Present money from our Club to organizations that truly deserve it. SNAP (or Special Needs Athletic Programs) is an organization that was created by Matthew and Zachary Certner, in the summer of 2009, after Matthew created Sports Clinics for Chrldren with Special Needs (SCSN) at the age of 15 for four years. | |
Solar Lighting Project 2011: A report by Paul Sigmund, Mission Of Hope, to Morristown Rotary Club regarding their $2,500 grant. Ideas sometimes arise unexpectedly. During the first week of last year’s trip to Malawi, we constructed swing sets at MOH's feeding centers. Mid way through the second week, as we were enjoying the African sunset after the day’s work building a gravity drip irrigation system for a vegetable garden, I was struck by the suddenness via which the sunset plunged into total darkness. As the sun fades, without electricity all activity at the remote feeding centers comes to a halt and the kids MOH serves quickly leave for home in the surrounding villages. What a difference a few electric lights might make! | |

Facing thousands of Rotary Club members in a vast convention hall in New Orleans at the May 2011 International Conference, Microsoft founder-turned-philanthropist Bill Gates praised them for their efforts to wipe polio off the face of the Earth. But that’s not enough, he said, even though the disease that used to be a universal scourge has been found in only 153 people this year, a 24 percent drop from this time last year. “Your work has brought us so far, 99 percent of the way there,” Gates said. “The last 1 percent will be the toughest. It’ll require more work than ever before, but I’m convinced that this fight is winnable.” | |
Some people in our community don't know what the Rotary wheel means. These very few words invite inquiry about what our Club does. It lets people know we're interested in new members who will be as committed as we are to making a positive difference through service ... contributing time, talent and resources toward Morristown Rotary's projects and goals. | |
Morristown Rotary Club members contribute time, talent and resources to make our community and our world a better place.

NOTHING BUT NETS is a global, grassroots campaign to raise awareness and funding to combat malaria, one of the largest killers of children in Africa. Morristown Rotary Club donates $2,000 to NOTHING BUT NETS to help in the prevention of Malaria which causes more than 200 million illnesses each year and kills nearly one million of those who become infected. Keep reading to see what you can do. | |
Sponsored by the Morristown Rotary Club, mother, Margaret and 2011 GIFT OF LIFE CHILD, Dotun (pronounced Dotsoon) traveled to Montefiore hospital where the surgeons performed surgery to correct a hole in his heart and an unhealthy thickening of the walls of his heart. This is very dangerous and tricky surgery especially for a child of this age and size. | | Posted by Dennis B. Morrison
by Denny Morrison ~ Morristown Rotary Club members do so many different things for so many different worthwhile causes. Sometimes I wish I had a list! So we made a list to go into our "A Taste Of Morristown" program booklet. It may also be useful to you when you talk about all the contributions our club makes to prospective new members, underwriters/sponsors, and news media. | |
