Julie has completed her year-long term as president of the Fanwood-Scotch Plains Rotary Club - an unusual year, to be sure.
Taking office a few months after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, Julie faced the challenge of keeping the club operating and continuing its mission of community service. She succeeded by innovating -- conducting meetings on Zoom, moving fund-raisers to various online platforms and staying in constant communication with other club officers and members.
Club members responded to the crisis by sewing face masks, initially to donate to health-care workers and then for sale to the public, raising over $1,500 for area food banks. Throughout the year, FSP Rotary continued providing support for local, regional and international charities.
With the help of other dedicated Rotarians, Julie kept the club moving forward in spite of the disruption and limitations caused by the pandemic. As immediate past president, she will remain an active member of the club's board, and is taking on the role of assistant treasurer.
