Dear Fellow Rotarians,

I give below our meetings program for the next four weeks:

1. December 15 at 5.30 PM - Holiday Party. We have had very good response from the members and please let me know by e mail if you are planning to attend and have not yet advised me.

Pam Stefanek from New Brunswick City Market was the first speaker. This organization is the management company for the New Brunswick Special Interest District. 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.

The second speaker was Adam F. Staats, Senior Project Coordinator of the Price Family Fellows Program. This is a transition program for youth who age out of foster care and attend Rutgers University. They need support in transitioning to adulthood and college. They are provided with internships, help with financial aid, and housing. There are internships and summer programs for them.

The Rotary Club of New Brunswick hosted its largest Murder Mystery Event to date on Friday, November 4th with 148 guests and Rotarians in attendance.

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

We welcome these distinguished individuals to our club and look forward to their active participation in Club's activities and for their initiatives in new projects for the benefit of the local communities.
