Club Projects

To mark the return of the Baseball season, early February each year, the Medford-Vincentown Rotary Club welcomes the Philly Phanatic at Camp Ockanickon. The Phanatic’s dancing and zany antics entertain kids and adults alike. Many kids attend with the evening filled with music, dancing and laughter. Hot dogs, hamburgers, and fries are served.

Preschoolers through 4th graders are invited to join with the Easter Bunny in an Easter Egg Hunt for fun-filled eggs.  Special prizes for those who find the "magic" eggs!  Bring a bag or basket. This event is a community outreach service by the Shawnee and Seneca High School Interact Clubs and the Medford-Vincentown Rotary Club.   Location:  Freedom Park 86 Union Street

Each year the Medford-Vincentown Rotary Club and the Medford Boy Scouts plant trees at various locations around the Township to celebrate Earth Day. The object is to provide community awareness and give back to the Earth. Earth Day started in 1970 and is active in 190 countries with the goal of planting 7.8 billion trees by 2020 (50th Anniversary)

Each year the Medford-Vincentown Rotary Club distributes Dictionary’s through Medford to third-grade students. The object of the Rotary Dictionary Project is to provide third-grade students a personal dictionary of their very own that will serve them at least through elementary and middle school. Many educators and researchers see this as a key to better reading, speech, and writing. The Rotary Dictionary Project is a worldwide project and members provide a brief explanation of Rotary service in the community and around the world (giving students a lasting positive impression of Rotary and the idea of service).

Each year at Shoprite in Medford, the Medford-Vincentown Rotary Club collect food and money for local food pantries. Typically, 100 boxes of food are collected over and distributed to Christian Caring Center, Medford Lakes Lions Food Pantry and Seneca High School Food Pantry. The Medford-Vincentown Rotary Club thanks all generous Shoprite patrons.

 Annual Thanksgiving Community Spiritual Breakfast Normally held the Wednesday before Thanksgiving For information contact: David Stow @ 609-953-7600

Since 1946. The first parade consisted of costumed marchers, a few floats, a couple of fire engines and a band. The parade has grown every year and has become one of the most cherished traditions in the community. The parade now boasts over 10 marching bands, 40 hand-built floats and hundreds of costumed marchers. The parade has been a labor of love to many members of the Rotary Club over the years, some of which participated in the first. The parade is the single largest yearly undertaking by the club and serves as its biggest fundraiser. 100% of the funds raised from the parade go directly to the many community projects and scholarships sponsored by the Medford-Vincentown Rotary Club.
