Ocean City/Upper Township Rotary Club News – At a recent meeting of the Rotary, Club President Cheryl McDonough displayed a certificate given by the County Freeholders, which recognized the Rotary for its contribution to the Richard M. Cameron Wildlife Sanctuary, located at Cape May County Park North on Route 9 in Palermo.
A new foot bridge and trail, recently opened at the park, were the results of combined efforts among Cape May County, the Ocean City/Upper Township Rotary, and a boy scout from a local troop.
The Rotary, a volunteer organization which raises money for projects in the community, meets Mondays at noon at the Tuckahoe Inn.
