On Saturday, April 13, 2019 at 6:30pm,
the Asbury Park Rotary is hosting its Centennial Celebration
at Deal Golf & Country Club, Deal, NJ.
This event is a celebration of 100 years of service to Asbury Park and Monmouth County communities.
This celebration will include dinner, dancing, gift auction and LIVE Entertainment by the Moroccan Sheepherders!
The Centennial Celebration is our largest fundraising event of the year. We hope you will support the Rotary through sponsorship, attendance, a purchase of an advertisement in the Centennial Book. As a sponsor, your business will be recognized at the event.
Proceeds of this event will benefit the Rotary Foundation of Asbury Park and these programs.
Scholarship Program
Each spring we invite local high school students from surrounding areas to participate in the scholarship program. This program is a vocational service activity of our club that assists and encourages high school seniors of Asbury Park, Neptune, Ocean Township and Academy Charter High Schools to pursue a post-secondary education with an emphasis on service to the community. Each year, we award scholarships to students of the four high schools.
Asbury Park Rotary Foundation Veterans Program
Throughout the year the Asbury ParkRotary Foundation sponsors and supports several events honoring the hundreds of veterans in our community. Events include: Bus Trip to Washington, Veterans Day Luncheon, and Memorial Garden in Asbury Park.
The journey to 100 members for our 100th year continues! Our newly-minted level-3 leader is Kip Daly. Congratulations!
A nice follow-up to the presentation by Don Brockel, Chair of the Deal Lake Commission, was our speaker today whose firm does only municipal engineering, Peter Avakian of Leon S. Avakian, Inc. Peter serves as staff of the Deal Lake Commission and focuses on the planning/zoning board review of development projects as these pertain to the environmental safety of Deal Lake and other environmental concerns. Peter shared that it has taken years to education developers and municipalities as to the importance of proper storm management. As he says, “you must develop property properly.” This is entails: 1.) Ground water infiltration, guaranteeing that 100% of the water that was absorbed in the ground prior to the site being developed, must be absorbed into the ground following completion of the project; 2.) Water discharging from the developed site must be slowed; and 3.) Removal of sediment before beginning the project. The developer must think through the whole project. To learn more about what Peter’s firm does, see their website http://www.leonsavakian.com, and for questions call Peter at 732.922.9229.Save the Dates: Details to follow

Feeding someone hungry. Picking up a piece of litter by the side of the road. Helping someone who needs a hand getting down a staircase. These gestures take mere seconds of your time, but they can make all the difference to the person on the receiving end of them. And while they may not make a major dent in your day, they can lead to some serious benefits for you, as well. According to researchers at the University of Oxford, acts of kindness—from smiling at a stranger to helping dig someone’s stuck tire out of the snow—can yield major improvements in the mood of not only their recipients, but the individual doling them out, as well. That’s right: every seemingly minor thing you’re doing to make someone else happy can fill you with just as much joy.
