WE REGRET TO REPORT THE PASSING of Rotarian DORIS SCHNEIDER over the weekend. Doris has been ill for the past few months, confined to her home in Summit. We anticipate receiving an obituary in the next few days and we will send it to all members.
Monday’s speaker is Tom Mitchell is CEO of Rose House in Morris Plains. He has been with Rose House since 2014, and has 30+ years of experience in social services/healthcare. He earned both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Healthcare Administration and has experience in residential, day, and educational services as well as the care of children and adults with developmental disabilities. Tom is also the baseball coach for High Point High School.
We look forward to learning about residential housing and programs that support and provide access to persons with developmental disabilities and special needs.
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.
OCTOBER SCHEDULE: We will have THREE meetings, all at Christ Church at 12:15 pm
October 7: The Democratic Candidates for Summit Common Council
October 14: The Republican Candidates for Summit Common Council
October 21: Rotary District Governor Jeannie Tsukamoto will pay her annual visit to the Club along with Assistant Governor Jeffrey Kraft.
PLEASE UPDATE YOUR CALENDAR AND PLAN TO JOIN US ON THE 7th, 14th and 21st!
