Celebrating Arbor Day -- One Tree at a Time!
          
 
On April 27th, Haddonfield Boro Commissioners, the Haddonfield Shade Tree Commission and members of the Rotary Club of Haddonfield celebrated Arbor Day by planting a Willow Oak in front of Borough Hall.  The tree was donated by the Haddonfield Rotary Club as part of a $2,500 Rotary District grant to plant ten trees in the downtown business district.  Rotary International President had challenged all club members this year to "Make a Difference" by planting a tree.  Rotary Club President Skip Bean and Janet Lane (above top) represented the Club to get things started by getting their hands dirty.  Pictured at bottom above are Robin Potter of the Haddonfield Shade Tree Commission, and Haddonfield Commissioner John Moscatelli who read a Borough Proclamation in honor of Arbor Day.

Trees Beautiful Trees!
The Rotary Club of Haddonfield received a grant from Rotary District 7640 this year to plant 12-14 trees throughout our community, just in time for Earth Day (April 22nd) and Arbor Day (April 27th).   As Robin Potter of the Haddonfield Shade Tree Commission reported to the Club at this week's meeting, it is important to maintain the beautiful, but diminishing tree canopy in town for many reasons.  This is also our Club and District's response to Rotary International President Ian Riseley's challenge to plant 1.2 million trees around the world this year.  After all Rotary's founder, Paul Harris, had a "deep love of nature, and his habit of planting friendship trees seeded a strong tradition within Rotary."  Check out this month's Rotarian Magazine to learn more about Rotary's commitment to Preserving Planet Earth.  Let's all go out and plant a tree!

Pedals for Progress Collection Great Success!
 
The Rotary Club of Haddonfield has been partnering with Pedals for Progress for many years.  Based in New Jersey, Pedals for Progress is an international organization with the mission to supply economic development aid by recycling bicycles and sewing machines in the U.S. and shipping them to the people of the developing world. 
 
We wrapped up our 2017 Pedals for Progress campaign this week with the collection of 47 bikes and 2 sewing machines in the period of three hours, with $290 in cash donations.  Special thanks to Rotarians Nick Nicolay, Paul Seefeldt, George Cox, Charles Hart, Skip Bean, John Garra, Jason Miller and Gary from P4P.   The 47 bikes from this weekend, added to 47 bikes delivered to Pedals for Progress in June by Paul Seefeldt, gave us a total for the year of 94 bikes and 6 sewing machines donated.  According to project leader Nick Nicolay, the total bike and sewing machines collected by the Haddonfield Club are well over 1000 units since initial involvement with Pedals for Progress under Pamela Fisk and Jim Pecka.

My thanks to all involved!

We are the 
CHAMPIONS!!
Rotary tamed the Lions and
won the Haddy Cup!
 
The Rotary Club of Haddonfield and the Haddonfield Lions Club competed in the Big Haddonfield Trivia Challenge last night -- a first time ever combined meeting of the two clubs.  The evening turned out to be lively and great fun, with just a bit of trash-talking to inspire the competition.  After all -- we're all friends, and share the same goals to help our communities.  In fact, Rotary also took home $300 to support its important causes.  
 
Thanks to Matt Skoufalos, Editor of NJ Pen, for serving as our emcee (and creating all the questions), King Lion Bob Stokes, and Rotarian Charles Hart for making the evening such a success.  And, very special thanks to the 27 Rotarians who came out in force with their "thinking caps" on, to meet the challenge.  Great job everyone!  Way to go Rotary!

Doing Good. 
And, Having Fun Doing It! 

Should someone ask a member of the Rotary Club of Haddonfield, “What’s Rotary, anyway?” the likely response will be short and simple: “Rotary is about doing good, and having fun doing it.” 

More formally, Rotary is about service and fellowship. In over 200 countries around the world, more than 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders – members of 33,000+ Rotary clubs – offer their time, talents, and treasure to help make the world a better place. They find it both very worthwhile and satisfying.
