The Maplewood Rotary Club hosted a wonderful evening at Isaiah House in East Orange on Tuesday, October 29, 2019. The evening brought together members of Maplewood Rotary Club and guests at Isaiah House for this special event, which will hopefully become an annual event.
We "rocked our socks off" by handing out socks, pajamas to the children and gift cards to the teenagers. Then we shared pizza, refreshments, snacks with residents at the Isaiah House. Thank you to everyone that donated socks at all the different drop off locations! We literally had a mountain of socks, over 2000 pairs collected during our "SOCKOBER DRIVE", including a great haul from Rotary member Ed Boffa, who motivated his Union High School Interact Club to collect 633 pairs! A special thanks to Ed and his students.
It was a great night of "Service Above Self", and wonderful meeting the families that were so grateful for this small gesture of kindness from our communities.
Maplewood Rotary Club has been active for almost 90 years. Our mission of "Service above self" has made us strive to give back to the community in many projects. Our newest project is "Socktober". We hope to gather sock donations from the Maplewood and South Orange communities and then distribute the socks to homeless shelters. One of these is Isaiah House in Orange, where we will be collaborating this fall in 2 ways. The first is Painting a Guest Room in September and the other will be a Spaghetti Dinner for the guests in November. We will prepare and serve a dinner as well as distribute PJs, books and socks to the guests.
Drop-off for the "Socktober" drive can be found at these locations:

MAPLEWOOD, NJ - Monday evening, June 24 was a time for celebration with the annual Maplewood Rotary Club end of year barbeque at the home of Steve Gussen and Stacy Hirschberg. Attended by almost all the members of the chapter and their spouses and/or friends, there was a true feeling of warmth and fellowship. Impossible to notmention that abundance of food and beverage for the celebration.
The first notable ceremony of the evening was the presentation by Rick Porter of the Paul Harris Fellow award to Mayor Vic DeLuca. The award, name in honor of Paul Harris who in 1905 founded the Rotary Club, is presented to a person who exemplifies all the qualities and goodness that The Rotary stands for. DeLuca has earned it with his support, and participation in major events over the years as Mayor of Maplewood.
During the course of the evening, not only was the year end celebrated, but two new members, Sharon Simmons and James Goodger, were administered the pledge of membership. The ceremonies continued with a presentation of a plaque and special Past President’s Pin to Rick Porter by President Elect Claudine Baptiste.
The final ceremony was the administration of the oath of office for the incoming officers by David Beni, with Claudine Baptiste stepping into the role of Chapter President for the coming year. Claudine told TAPinto SOMA that she hopes to focus more of the charitable support locally that has been done in the past.
