qualifications for this award.

FOOD DRIVE - ROCKAWAY FOOD CLOSET

On Sunday, April 1, 2012, the Rockaway Rotary Club will conduct a food drive for the Rockaway Food Closet at the Rockaway ShopRite. Our efforts this past summer were very successful and the food and monetary donations collected helped meet a critical need and demand for assistance for many families in the Rockaway area. Please mark your calendars to give your time to work a

shift to ensure this “Help Fight Hunger” event will again be a huge success.

Heard Along the Way…

BOWLING NEWS by George Berry

On Wednesday, February 8th, Rockaway bowled the team from Parsip-pany,“ When Pigs Fly” and came away empty, losing all 7 points for the session. The league experienced an interesting evening with three teams winning all 7 points and three teams losing all 7 points. Parsippany en-tered the evening in last place and came away with the sweep. As in all sports, anything is possible on any given night. PDG Maurie was em-phatic that we make sure everyone knows that his team was victorious in their match with our bowlers. Keeping in mind the 4-Way Test, we be-lieve our weekly reporting is “The Truth” and “Fair to All Concerned”. Our bowlers rebounded from this loss the following week with a success-ful session against the 3rd place “Denville B” team capturing 5 of the 7 points for the evening. PP Sheila & PP Steve had an outstanding session with Sheila scoring 20+ pins over her average each game and Steve Bartsch recording the high game of 221. Rockaway is currently in 2nd place trailing Livingston with Bernardsville and Denville in close pursuit.
