Principals F. Scott Allshouse from Copeland Middle School and Mark Schwarz from Thomas Jefferson School

qualifications for this award.

ROCKAWAY ROTARY HONORS MIDDLE SCHOOL MUSIC DEPARTMENTS

At this past Wednesday’s club meeting, the Rockaway Rotary Club presented the music departments of Thomas Jefferson School (RB) and Copeland Middle

Earl starred in many Broadway productions including being cast in the original “Annie Get Your Gun” by Richard Rodgers. Earl was honored as a Paul Harris Fellow and also was chairman of the district Scholarship Committee during his

membership in our club.

EASTER BUNNY BREAKFAST

“THANK YOU” to all who helped make our breakfast a success, the Rotarians who assisted with the greeting, serving, etc., Hannah Ferguson, Lily Kass, and Zach Steinberg for taking the Easter Bunny pictures, and all community members who came to

enjoy the breakfast and support our charitable efforts. A special recognition to Applebee’s of Rockaway for hosting the event and to President Janice for chairing the breakfast…. and of course, thank you to our very own “Easter Bunny” who returned from the hills to join the fun!
