She gave an update on the plans, events, and activities that are and will be taking place in New Brunswick. In addition, she mentioned that our club can post activities on the organization’s Calendar of Events.

Dr. Michael Norris gave a slide presentation of George Washington through the work of artists at the Thursday, September 8 evening meeting of the Rotary Club of New Brunswick. Using paintings from various museum collections, Mike described the legacy of Washington as a surveyor, member of the Virginia militia, tobacco farmer near the Potomac River at Mount Vernon, and commander of the colonial forces against the British that achieved American independence. Through portraits by past and modern painters, Washington was illustrated as the “indispensable man” whose leadership and presidency set the model for future generations. Mike Norris worked as museum educator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for nearly twenty years and now gives public lectures on a variety of topics. His website is www.armchairarttours.com.

The New Brunswick Rotary Club has been delivering produce and fresh fruit to Elijah’s Promise, the community soup kitchen at 18 Neilson Street in New Brunswick. There are four deliveries each week. The food has been donated by the Costco Wholesale Warehouses in Edison and Bridgewater.

Thank you and please let me know if there is anything I can do to assist your efforts."

At the meeting of our Club on Aug 18, we inducted two new members:

1. Thomas J. Carto - President and CEO of New Jersey State Theater
