Over 50 years ago a Detroit businessman elicited generous responses when he asked 100 business friends to contribute $ 200 each to the family of a young local police officer who was fatally wounded in the line of duty. This selfless act was the beginning of the 200 Club The 200 Club of Hunterdon County was established in 1976 as a NJ not-for-profit corporation to provide financial assistance to families of any police officer, fire, rescue and emergency management personnel providing such services to the citizens of Hunterdon County who have lost their lives or become disabled in the line of duty. The Club stands ready at a moment's notice to provide assistance should the need ever arise. The Club is governed by a 19 member Board of Trustees consisting of Hunterdon and Warren County residents who serve three-year terms. Officers of the Club include President Peter DeLoria, Vice President Frank Fuzo, Secretary Richard Reiner and Treasurer Les Hall, Jr. The Club currently has over 300 members. Anyone interested in supporting and furthering the mission and goals of the 200 Club of Hunterdon County is eligible for membership. All prospective members must be sponsored by a member in good standing and have the approval of the 200 Club of Hunterdon County Board of Trustees. Initial dues are $ 200 per member and annual dues of $ 75. Each member receives identification from the 200 Club of Hunterdon County establishing his/her membership.
