Ramapo Valley Rotary

At our October 9th, Rotary meeting Sharon Martini, Director From Meals On Wheels, gave us a presentation explaining how Covid has negatively affected their number of volunteers and funds available, while those in need have greatly expanded. However, she also made us aware of the breath of service they give to the community well beyond just delivering meals, but concerned with the well-being of each individual senior that they help with food and other services. So please volunteer, if you can. They have this great app that volunteers can download to their phone that helps with providing deliveries of meals and tracking the well-being of those in need. The Ramapo Valley Rotary was happy to help MOW with a $250 donation. Thank you for all that you do, for those in need, in our community.

We were pleased to have our Rotary District Governor, Tony Marmo, come and visit us at our September 18th, Friday lunch meeting at Rhodes Tavern, in Sloatsburg. All agree it was a success, thanks Tony, Mike and Larry for visiting! Tony we wish you a successful year as DG.
