Is it the truth?

Is it fair to all concerned?

Will it build good will and better friendships?

Will it be beneficial for all concerned?

NATURE WALK JONATHAN'S WOODS

On May 27, 2021 Denville Rotary, along with Denville Sunrise, enjoyed the great outdoors with a nature walk in Jonathan's Woods led by Dave Blinder. Dave Blinder is a Denville resident and serves on the Board of Trustees for POWWW (Protect Our Water Wetlands and Woods). The mission of POWWW is to protect wetlands, woodlands and potable water supplies throughout the Beaver Brook watershed in Denville, Rockaway and Boonton Township. They identify and support land acquisition, provide site stewardship and provide public education programs. Dave spoke about the history of the area, the wildlife and how the preserve came to be. It was a great experience enjoyed by all!

Paper Goods and Toiletries Drive

The Rotary Club of Denville prides itself on its service to the community. Our Denville Rotary Paper Goods and Toiletries Social Services Project was a resounding success due in large part by the overwhelming giving spirit of its Denville residents who answer the call of the needs of our community. We appreciate the support!

On behalf of Denville Rotary, I extend my thanks to the residents and neighbors who never disappoint in their generosity. To our members, thank you for your Service Above Self. We had a great day embracing the opportunity to serve.
