The Club Receives an Award from the Salvation Army

The Rotary Club of Shady Brook was recognized this evening as the area organization collecting the most money during the Salvation Army's annual Red Kettle Drive at a ceremony at the Middletown Country Club … raising over $3,000 outside J.C. Penny’s and Macy's at the Oxford Valley Mall during the six Saturdays leading up to Christmas.

The money dropped in a kettles goes right back into our local community.  Every day of the year The Salvation Army provides basic needs, housing, youth services, rehabilitation, and counseling and spiritual care to people in the communities we serve. The Salvation Army is also often the first to arrive and the last to leave during times of disaster or crisis.
