The Rotary Club of Woodbridge-Perth Amboy Foundation has released an application for college scholarships for Woodbridge Township students which can be downloaded by clicking HERE. This scholarship opportunity will be made available to senior high school and college students from Woodbridge Township who are pursuing a post-high school full-time course of study at an accredited college, university, trade school, or other educational institution.
Members of Rotary Club of Woodbridge-Perth Amboy collected nearly 600 lbs of food for the Woodbridge Township “Have-A-Heart” Food Drive Challenge, which replenishes local pantries after the holidays every year. This year, each Rotarian gathered food from the list of items most needed by local pantries.
Rotarians turned out in force on a chilly December 1st to help distribute an Amazon donation of toiletries, food and other goods to Woodbridge area pantries, churches and charitable organizations.
On Friday, November 3, the Rotary Club of Woodbridge-Perth Amboy celebrated 100 years of service. Keynote speaker and Acting District Governor Dr. Julie Phelps gave a keynote address with an entertaining historical perspective, and Mayor John McCormac presented Club President Amy Krysienski with Proclamations from Woodbridge Township and the New Jersey State Assembly and Senate. Two Paul Harris Awards were presented, one to Elroy Darden, Past President and Area District Governor, and a posthumous Paul Harris Fellow was accepted by Foy Cooley, CEO of Access Storage and the spouse of award recipient Kenneth Wayne Cooley. Also recognized for longstanding Rotary service in Woodbridge and Perth Amboy were Ray Zirpolo, Ralph Winter, and John DeNoia with special mention of his role in the establishment and support of the Woodbridge Rotary Club Foundation scholarship fund.
