🎙️ Weekly Meeting Recap: New Jersey Orators
TUESDAY was a unique day to hold a Rotary meeting, but due to the holiday schedule, we gave it a try! Thank you to the 12 members who joined us to hear about the New Jersey Orators (NJO) Program.
Our guest speaker was Eloise Samuels, President of NJO. Founded in 1985 by corporate executives and educators, NJO began as a grassroots effort in Somerset County to bridge literacy and public speaking gaps among minority youth. Over the decades, the organization has expanded significantly, now operating 15 chapters across nine counties and mentoring thousands of students.
