Maplewood Rotary Meeting (guests are welcome)
Toro Loco RestaurantJan 09, 2024
6:30 PM – 8:00 PM
The Rotary Club of Maplewood, New Jersey, is hosting "Spin for Alzheimer's" a fundraising event in support of those affected by Alzheimer’s disease. This event is led by Rotary Member and Past President, Claudine Baptiste and is in partnership with BCB Bank.
From Claudine: I've decided to organize an annual event for individuals with Alzheimer's who are struggling financially, drawing from my personal experience of caring for my mother who battles Alzheimer's. I've witnessed firsthand the financial burden that comes with doctor's copays, medication costs, and the need for an aide, which can be overwhelming for families without the means to cover these expenses.
This event is an opportunity for us to come together and make a difference. I encourage everyone to dig deep into their pockets, participate, donate, and support my cause. Hosting this event serves as a therapeutic outlet for me, allowing me to channel my personal experiences into something positive.
If you know anyone who could benefit from the financial assistance this event will provide, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'm thrilled to announce that BCB Bank and Maplewood Rotary have joined in this noble cause, but we still need your help. Please mark your calendars for November 4th and join us for a day of fun and wellness, all while giving back to those in need. Deadline to RSVP by October 21st, 2023.”

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:
