Last week’s speaker was Michael Arlein, Summit resident and head of Summit’s Hometown Heroes program. The original Hometown Heroes Banner program first ran in Harrisburg, PA in 2006. In 2017, it was brought to Michael’s attention by a friend and City council member that New providence was participating in the program and suggested Summit should, also. Long story short, Michael volunteered to head the program. He joined with other interested Summit residents, veterans, and organizations such as the American Legion and the Summit Foundation to begin the process. For more details, see our website ….

Rotary has an opportunity to assist in a very special local project - this is a "one-off", it requires no experience, no heavy lifting and no money!
As explained by Donna Patel, Chair of the Summit Environmental Commission and fellow Rotarian, "the Summit Library started a Native Seed Library last year, and the Tiny Forest is one of the sources to replenish the seeds. The Native Seed Library is available to the public - people are allowed to take up to 3 seed packets (and then hopefully provide seeds back once their plants thrive).
Many seeds have been collected but are still waiting to be sorted into smaller numbers of seeds and labelled for distribution.
There was a couple committed to sorting and then they moved or are no longer available. This project would be ideal for Rotarians as it’s indoors and can be done together as a group at the Library or as a take-home project.
If you would like to volunteer you can simply call the Library, 908-273-0350 or contact Donna directly at
