Rotary is an international humanitarian service organization of business and community leaders, and volunteers who are willing and able to support the Rotary International mission . Men and women, doing incredible things together, within their Rotary clubs, and in concert with Rotarians around the world. Rotarians believe in improving people's lives, leading to a better and more peaceful world, while having fun doing so. Targeted for elimination are poverty, disease , hunger, illiteracy, and pollution. We commit time, talent, experience and resources to make a positive difference. Founded in 1905, Rotary has over 1.5 million members around the world. Rotary helped develop the original United Nations charter in 1947 and holds a seat at the United Nations. Rotary clubs meet weekly to discuss, plan and adopt service projects, recognize members' successes and achievements, inspire others with whom Rotarians come in contact, enjoy fellowship, and have fun.
About Florham Park Rotary
"Service Above Self" is more than a motto - it is a Rotary credo. Rotary membership provides dedicated men and women the opportunity to build lifelong relationships and experience the personal fulfillment of volunteer service to community and the world. Through their combined work and energy - both locally and in collaboration across borders with other clubs - Rotarians find satisfaction in participating in efforts that encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, build goodwill and peace, and deliver meaningful results. Organized by Districts in their regions, states, and countries, Rotary clubs work on projects related to Health and Hunger; Environmental Concerns; Literacy and Vocational Service; Substance Abuse; Veterans Support; Mental Health; and the World's Children.
Florham Park Rotary is especially committed to the welfare of the Borough's resident students, and a sustaining annual Scholarship Fund for the benefit of graduating High School Seniors is a primary goal in all fundraising activities of the Club. In addition, periodic grants are directed to support the many activities and needs of the Borough's public schools, including Briarwood, Brooklake and Ridgedale, with such activities as an annual Career Day in the Middle School and donation of dictionaries to all Third Grade students augmenting the Scholarship Fund awards each year to Florham Park residents.
We are proud to organize, participate and support many projects, each with the objective of meeting one or more of Rotary International goals. Among such activities in recent times, and as continuing initiatives, are these:
