Save Barnegat Bay Service Project

Several of our members met at Shelter Cove Beach to gather sand samples for Save Barnegat Bay's microplastic research project, followed by dinner at JoeBellas Restaurant. We were relieved to find a very small amount of microplastics locally despite the growing impact these plastic particles are having throughout the region and globally.

Meeting Speaker Phillipe Cousteau

Featured speaker Phillipe Cousteau inspired members with amazing stories of his grandfather Jacques Couteau, videos about damaged coral reefs, recovering ecosystems and areas where sharks are thriving. He shared wonderful memories about his family and their love of the outdoors. He talked about efforts happening - and still needed - worldwide to restore ocean environments, about the importance of teachers in educating today’s youth, as well as his appreciation for Rotary’s efforts in supporting environmental projects globally. The meeting was hosted by Ocean County College to benefit their foundation.

Holiday Wreaths for Veterans

Members of Toms River Rotary were proud to support National Wreaths Across America Day to honor service members who served in our military and often sacrificed their lives to preserve our freedoms. Similar wreath-laying ceremonies occur at more than 2,500 locations to show our veterans and their families that we will not forget. We will never forget.

Sailfest NJ Success for 2021

Thanks to all of our Sponsors, Vendors, Advertisers, Musicians and Volunteers for another great Sailfest NJ! It was great to be back 'live' with our thousands of friends who help us make a difference in the community every year. Look forward to seeing you again in 2022!

9-11 Reflection Ceremony

The Rotary Sailfest NJ Event cast off on Sept 11th with a special Reflection Ceremony to honor veterans, first responders, and those who have served our country or were lost during the tragic events of 9-11. The culmination of the Ceremony was a short parade headed by the Island Heights Fire Department, and a symbolic wreath-laying. New this year was music by members of the US Coast Guard Jazz Band for this always moving ceremony as well as afterwards on the main stage.

Play Ball! Rotary Night at the BlueClaws

Our club joined with members of the Toms River Sunrise Rotary Club for a fun evening in a private party room at a Jersey Shore BlueClaws baseball game. It was a beautiful event with over 30 Rotarians and guests. And the BlueClaws won the game! The BlueClaws are an affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies.
