Each year at the Ducky Race in Clinton, the Clinton Sunrise Rotary gives special thanks to individuals and organizations who support not only our efforts to serve the community but serve the community in their own special way also. Special thanks and our Ducky Plaque go to The Clinton Township Newsletter and Julie Flynn ( and, of course in loving memory of Fred and Ruth Keesing). Julie unfailingly helps us let the community know about our Events and the great causes they support. She jumped on the bandwagon for the Virtual Ducky Race right away even though it was late notice. The $4600 raised this year through that event will provide research, education and support for people affected by cancer through The Relay for Life at North Hunterdon and the Cancer Support Community CNJ. The Newsletter is the backbone for information about our schools, shops and activities in our beautiful corner of Hunterdon County and Julie is delightful to work with. Thank you again! We hope next year we will have an ACTUAL DUCKY RACE and, with Julie and the CTNL's help, The Clinton Sunrise Rotary will let you know all about it!
