We were honored to have Toms River Police Department Chief Mitch Little as our speaker last week. He thanked us for our latest donation to the K9 Unit, walked us through the process of new hires, how the Police Dept helps our community, and talked to us about the Toms River Police Foundation. The Foundation awards scholarships to qualified applicants from all Toms River high schools and to those students pursuing a career in law enforcement as well as the children of police department members regardless of their career path.
Thank you, Chief for all the information you provided and as always we will continue to support the department in any way we can.

Last meeting we met Rev. Susan S. Jones a Pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church and now the President of a new non-profit organization: Toms River Housing and Homeless Coalition.
The TRHHC goal is centered on meeting the unmet needs of individuals who are at risk of becoming homeless in Toms River and Ocean County at large. These needs include providing emergent housing needs while also providing access to long-term, stable housing as well as other supportive services as quickly as possible.
What is even better is that Rev. Susan is trying to get all organizations helping the homeless together to be able to provide help at a larger scale. We are happy to support this non-profit organization and are looking forward to see the great changes it will bring to our community.
In December we held a Dine & Donate event at Turning Point in Toms River to benefit the TRPD K9 Unit. This donation would not be possible without YOUR help. Our Community.
It was very exciting to meet a couple of the K9s as well as to learn about the work the handlers do. Thank you to the K9 Unit for keeping our community safe! 
From the Toms River PBA "Toms River PBA #137 would like to extend their sincere gratitude for the tremendous generosity we received from the Central Ocean Rotary for our K9 fund. Your generous contribution is greatly appreciated by all of our K9s and their handlers!"
What better way to start 2022 than learning how beer is made at Artisan's Restaurant & Brewery. Brewmaster Andy talked to us about the beer brewing process and all that takes to make different types of beers. Craft brewing is a small American industry that only accounts for 12% of sales while foreign big companies take the rest so let's support our local breweries 
!
!Andy will also be opening his own brewery so keep checking his website for details: https://www.birdsmouthbrewing.com/
