The Strategic Plan Committee would love your input! Take this quick survey about your experience in our Rotary Club. Your feedback will help guide our Strategic Plan.

Raffle Time
On Monday we had planned to begin distributing the annual raffle tickets. If you’re not able to attend one of the next two meetings, don’t worry — your tickets will be mailed to you.
This is an important fundraiser for the club. Each $20 ticket generates over $9.75 for the scholarship fund. Full details will be enclosed with your tickets.
District Events:
Connect for Good Summit
Long‑time Rotarians may remember the old three‑day district conferences at a resort — those days are gone. For the second year, the District is hosting the Connect for Good Summit on:
Saturday, May 16
9:30 AM – 4:30 PM
The Imperia, Somerset (a short ride out Route 78)
As in past years, the Summit / New Providence Club will cover the cost for any Rotarian who notifies us before the Early Bird deadline. Simply reply to this email and we will handle your registration and payment. More details to come next week.
Yankee Fan Alert: End Polio Day at Yankee Stadium
On May 2, Rotarians from across the New York City region will gather at Yankee Stadium for Yankees vs. Orioles, combining fellowship with support for End Polio Now.
Ticket options begin at $70 per person. For every ticket purchased, $25 goes to The Rotary Foundation Polio Fund, and the Gates Foundation will match each donation 2‑for‑1.
Every ticket includes a limited‑edition Yankees hat featuring the Rotary and End Polio Now logos.
