Central Ocean Rotary Club Meetings

 

What's a meeting like at the Central Ocean Rotary Club of Toms River?

 

Lunch is served at the Olive Garden, 1277 Hooper Ave. Toms River.

 

Members and visitors typically begin to arrive at noon for networking and socializing.

 

We begin each meeting promptly at 12:15 with the pledge of allegiance and invocation. 

 

Following that are our "fines" and "happy bucks" which are a lot of fun and help our club be generous to local charities. Don't worry, fines aren't like getting a speeding ticket... we "penalize" members for fun things like being late or wearing the wrong color. Happy bucks are given willingly by each club member to tell everyone something they are happy about each week.

 

Then we may discuss upcoming club projects, events, and other community activities we are a part of. This is always a great opportunity to share ideas and get involved. 

 

Finally, we have a guest speaker, who might be someone from the community updating us on an important topic or a charity asking for our help.

 

Meetings usually wrap up by 1:15, after which members and visitors often hang around for further networking and socializing until about 1:30. 

 

Every week is different and fun!
