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.

Welcoming new members to our global Rotary family is always a special occasion. This week we were proud to celebrate celebrate our newest Rotarian Brandon Grocki

Last Wednesday, the Rotary Club said goodbye to our member Emir Turkes. 

Emir is relocating to London to continue his doctoral studies in Neuro Sciences at the University College of London.. Over the next three years Emir will be doing research on Dementia/Alzheimers and how it begins. Ultimately the goal will be to find a cure.

 

Emir joined our club almost 2 years ago, and his Rotary experience was started in Japan as Rotary Scholar. He joined the Roteract club of Tokyo West. Emir has already visited the Kensington Chelsea Rotary Club and anticipates becoming a member very soon.

 

We wish him all the best and hope he comes back for visits.
