Whats New...
 
The 52nd Annual Vince Lombardi Awards Banquet honors a lineman from each of Monmouth County's high school football teams. The individuals selected to receive this special award best exemplify the traditions, beliefs, and ideals of the legendary coach Vince Lombardi.
 
Originally started as a national award on the college level, the Rotary Clubs of Monmouth County received special permission from the Lombardi family to present his awards program on the high school level. Currently, the Monmouth County Banquet is the only one held in New Jersey.
 
The funds raised from this event will aid in the fight against cancer, support scholarships, and the many community service projects awarded by the Rotary Clubs of Monmouth County. By supporting this event, you are demonstrating your commitment to our community. Throughout the years, the Vince Lombardi Awards Banquet has received much publicity and recognition partly due to the well-known sports figures who have participated in the
event.
 
If you would like to attend the banquet, or you know someone who would, OR if you'd like to support your Monmouth County Rotary Club and exceptional athletes being recognized this year by securing some ad space for your business, you can do all of that by clicking on this link: https://rbrfoundation.square.site/

Red Bank's Annual Veterans' Day Ceremony

This will take place on Saturday, November 11th, 2023 @ 11:00 AM sharp.

It will be held at Riverside Gardens Park, on a backdrop of the Red Bank Field of Heroes, sponsored and erected by the Red Bank Rotary Club.

A great big Thank You to all Rotarians who participated in this year's flag planting!

In the event of inclement weather, the event will move inside the Red Bank ELKs Lodge #233, on West Front Street.
 

Please note we will be back to Beautifying Red Bank on Saturday, November 11th.
 
Come join us and support your community!
 
We are pleased to announce that the Red Bank Rotary Club has received permission to sponsor the Field of Heroes Event for Veterans Day week 2023 and Memorial Day week 2024 in Riverside Gardens Park.
 
We will exhibit 100 American flags the week before both Veterans and Memorial Days, including Veterans & Memorial Days themself. We aim to acquire 100 sponsors to memorialize, honor, or commemorate their specific Hero by flying an American flag for each one. A name card with their Hero’s name and sponsor’s message will be attached to their individual flag.
 
The Red Bank Rotary will label each flag with its Hero’s name, install it at the beginning of the week, and remove it the day after Veterans and Memorial Days.
 
Here is a YouTube video that may answer some of your questions and show what the flags look like as a group:
 
           
Do you have a hero you would like to honor?
 
How about a Fallen Serviceman or woman? Active Military? 9/11 Victim? First Responder? 
Teacher, Professor, Mentor? Humanitarian? Veteran? Parent?
 
The Red Bank Rotary will fly an American flag in Riverside Garden Park the week leading up to Veterans and Memorial Days, including the days of for a $150.00 donation to the Red Bank Rotary Foundation. If you prefer to sponsor only one of the days, the cost of a flag is $100. You may also write a message on a 4 x 6 card that will be attached to the flagpole.
 
Directions:  Each sponsor must fill out an application that includes a 4 x 6 area in the bottom half of the page. That area is for the handwritten message or details about their hero. Examples are provided on a separate page. Leave the ½ inch box in the middle of the card empty so that we may print the hero's name in it. The hero's name should be printed in CAPS in the designated blank on the top half of the application.
 
Submission Deadlines are:
Veterans Day: 11/5/2023 & Memorial Day: 5/26/2024

September 8, 2023 Rotary Club Meeting

Location:  Brother Restaurant in Red Bank

Speaker:  Christopher Shinn
 
We have a small but mighty lunch.  
As usual, we started with the Pledge of Allegiance followed by the Four Way Truth, followed by our Meditation (we held a moment of silence in memory of the passing of the sister/sister-in-law of our past District Governor, Chuck & Mary Watson.)  Bill Dickenson collected Happy Dollars (All Happy Dollars)!!  
Joe Greca reminded all that on September 14th Stephen T.  will be inducted as our Newest Red Bank Rotary Club Member!!  Please don't miss this event!!!  
This was our first at The Brothers Restaurant and Chris was our  guest speaker.  He shared that after speaking with Rotary Club 5000 in Hawaii, they have come up with a board game drive to support the children who are affected by the devastating fires.  So, we are asking our members to help support his amazing cause.  He also talked about joining efforts to host a golf outing and so I will connect Jay and Chris to discuss such a possibility at Trump Golf Course.  Lastly, he shared more information on how we can drive support from our local community to sponsor events and need for our Club and the community.  He provided samples of forms that we can prepare and hand out to banks, big box stores, etc., who are always willing to support non-profit organizations in their community.  He is a wealth of information and would love to engage more with the Red Bank Rotary Club.
Announcements and Lots of them:
 
1)  PICNIC - We have our Rotary Picnic on September 21st from 5-7 at our Past President, Jay Schwartz's, home.  He and his lovely wife, Meghan will be hosting this event.  Please RSVP as soon as possible, so we can get a pretty good count.  Of Note:  The Club member who brings the most guests, will receive their next Rotary Luncheon paid for.
 
2)  We have received permission to "plant" the flags at Riverside Garden Park for BOTH weeks of Veterans and Memorial Days.  Let's start selling FLAGS:  Cost is $100 for one event $150 for Both Events.  A commemorative keepsake will be sent to each sponsor.
 
3)  Lombardi Dinner:  March 21st.  Need Sponsors, Page Ads sold, etc.  More to come after our Committee Meeting on Sept. 11 at 6 p.m. Please reach out to Alex or Ellie for information.
 
4)  We have confirmed Santa Letters and Calls with the Parks and Rec Center so Jay is all over that!
 
For those who missed us at The Brothers Restaurant, you missed out on the pitcher of beer our President provided for our members and guests!
 
Most Sincerely,
--
Ellie Tava
