Julie has become president of the Rotary Club of Fanwood-Scotch Plains.
After serving as secretary and then as president-elect, Julie began her one-year term as president July 1. A formal installation dinner planned for that month was canceled due to the coronavirus. Instead, the installation ceremony was conducted via Zoom on Aug. 12.
Following her swearing-in by the district governor, Julie gave an address outlining her goals for the year. Those include: Increasing the diversity of club membership, energizing new members, finding ways to conduct fundraising virtually, continuing to improve the club’s visibility in the towns, and hosting the District Conference in May. Given all the disruption caused by the pandemic, she stressed the need to stay flexible!
The Fanwood-Scotch Plains club is very active in community service and currently sponsors charitable projects in Puerto Rico, Uganda and Nicaragua. (

In recent months, club members have been sewing face masks, initially for donation to health-care and other essential workers, and then for sale at the weekly Scotch Plains farmers’ market, with proceeds donated to area food banks.
