Proud Sponsors of The Washington Lake Park ADA Compliant Playground Project!!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. |

World Polio Day Thursday, October 24th!! Join us for Rotary’s World Polio DayMark 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. |

New Jersey Trivia for the week: March 14, 2013Slogan: 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.
