Central Ocean Rotary Club Meetings

 

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

 

Members and visitors typically begin to arrive at noon for networking, socializing and a tasty lunch at the Olive Garden, 1277 Hooper Ave. Toms River.

 

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

 

Following that we share "happy bucks" where members share something they are happy about in either their business or personal life. Guests are welcome to share something happy also, but it is not expected.  This part of the meeting is always a lot of fun, helps us get to know each other better, and every buck helps us support local charities.

 

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 often have an enlightening guest speaker, who might be someone from the community updating us on an important timely topic or a local charity telling us about their work.

 

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!
