Halloween may look a little bit different this year, but
The Landing of Washington Square Assisted Living Community wants to help bring you some joy ... and treats! Join us on Saturday, October 31st, 1:30–3:00 pm for some
safe, socially distanced trick-or-treating and fun! We will have a designated, quick walking path in front of our community so you and your children can show off your Halloween best to our residents in a parade format before collecting their sweet treasures! If you are driving to the community, there will be a designated place to park in our lot at the beginning of the socially distanced parade route. DJ Music will be the soundtrack while you walk your short parade route! The bags of candy full of individually wrapped items will be prepared and distributed by masked and gloved team members. Restrooms or access to indoors are not available during this event. Call us at (856) 407-0600 for more information.

Our Club has proudly sponsored this project!! We have gifted the ADA Compliant swing to the special residents in our community!! Mayor Gattinelli announced that construction has started for the new playground at Washington Lake Park. This is yet another project that the Mayor has brought to reality for the residents of Washington Township. This playground comes at no current cost to the taxpayers and even better it’s ADA compliant, so everyone can join in on the fun. The playground was paid for by a grant that Mayor Gattinelli and her administration initiated in 2005. Monies were also donated from our club in the form of a District Grant, proceeds from our Wine Festival, and Berkshire Hathaway's Fox & Roach Charities.

The Dictionary Project 
Special Thank you to Vince and Sue Esposito along with our dedicated Rotarians that distributed over 600 Dictionaries to our local grade Schools!! Our Dictionary Project is underway!! Every year, we provide dictionaries to our local 3rd Graders to assist with improving communication skills and helping them make the most of their education. The Dictionary Project is a charitable organization based in Charleston, South Carolina, U.S.A., and was founded by Mary French in 1995 to provide personal copies of a dictionary for third grade students in the South Carolina public school system. It has grown into a national organization. To date, over 30 million dictionaries have been donated to children in the United States and internationally. It is funded through individual donations and by sponsors who implement the program in their local schools.

Join us for Rotary’s World Polio Day Mark your calendar to join us on 24 October for Rotary’s World Polio Day Online Global Update. It will be streamed on RI’s Facebook pages in multiple languages and time zones around the world. World Polio Day is an annual opportunity for Rotary members to rally the world around the fight to eradicate the disease forever. This year’s program will highlight the heroes of polio eradication, with stories from areas that have recently been affected and areas where polio is still endemic. The program features TV presenter and former Paralympian Ade Adepitan, supermodel Isabeli Fontana, science educator Bill Nye, and actress Archie Panjabi. Our partners at the World Health Organization and UNICEF will provide updates on the latest progress toward a polio-free world. In 1988, when Rotary and its partners founded the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, the paralyzing disease affected 350,000 children. Our collaboration with the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and later the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, local health workers, and national governments has helped reduce that number by 99.9 percent.

Washington Township Rotary Club and Berkshire Hathaway Realtors, Turnersville, has partnered together and adopted the Pfc. Angelo Giacobbe Memorial Site on Ganttown Road. This project was made possible because of a generous grant awarded by the Rotary District. The plaque signage has been mounted on the benches, and the final phase, landscaping, will be completed in the fall. Rotarians will then come together with Berkshire Hathaway Realtors on Berkshire Hathaway's Community Service Day, Thursday, October 4th for the formal dedication.

Slogan: At this time, none whatsoever! It used to be "The Garden State," but with large-scale industrialization and housing developments going up all over the state, the slogan raises questions with out-of-staters. When newly elected Governor Corzine sponsored a contest for a new state slogan in 2005. The announced winner was "New Jersey, Come See For Yourself!" (The preferred entry from my sources is: "I'm From New Jersey; Ya Gotta Problem Widdat?"). There was little enthusiasm for the winning entry, so a professional advertising firm has been asked to come up with a slogan.

Chris Waldron, our speaker today, spoke to us last fall as you will recall. He was employed by the Philadelphia Zoo as a Zookeeper, Curator of Carnivores and Primates and Director of Sustainability. His degree from Penn State is in Wildlife and Fisheries Science. Chris is also an instructor at the Animal Behavior Institute an online accredited program for those seeking a career in Animal Husbandry. His topic today is moving large animals.
The old way they used to move large animals was to dart them, but the problem with that was the animals would get stressed out and with their adrenalin so high it would take a ton of drugs to knock them out. So they try to do it in a voluntary manner by training them with treats to come close and lay on a scale and then they draw blood from their tails and this is all done while the animal is relaxed. If they did need to sedate them it was much easier to do while the animal is in a relaxed state.
Some of the animals needed to be transferred to other zoos while the Philadelphia zoo was being overhauled. They needed to check them out for diseases before they ship them to other zoos. All of the training they did allowed them to easily get the animals into crates and move them in and out of the exhibits whenever they needed to.
