Chartered by Rotary International, April 27, 1953

What is Rotary?

Rotary is a service organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide who conduct humanitarian projects, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and work toward world understanding and peace.

'Service Above Self

Through the past 42 years, The Pompton Lakes Rotary Club has been at the forefront of Rotary activity. It has been blessed with an active membership, all freely giving of time and energy. We are very proud that 3 of the original 23 charter members are still among the most active participants. They are Alf Lockwood, Harold dark and Joe "Mr. Pompton Lakes" Martoccia.

Members of the Pompton Lakes Rotary Club have given countless hours to raise funds for the Rotary Foundation, which provides educational grants and awards to young people for study-visits abroad; to Polio Plus, a program which seeks to eliminate polio and five other childhood diseases throughout the world by the end of this century.

Pompton Lakes Rotary members have given time and raised funds for a number of worldwide causes through Rotary International, but their hearts are right here in Pompton Lakes. The Club puts into everyday practice the old saying, "Charity Begins at Home".
