Rotary Breakfast Club Donates $10,000 to Moorestown Community House

The Moorestown Rotary Breakfast Club today pledged $10,000 to the Moorestown Community House which is in the middle of their Capital Campaign to raise $2 million, the club announced.

Moorestown Community House founder Eldridge Johnson pledged $250,000 in 1923 to create a gathering place for the town’s residents, as long as they could raise enough fund to create an endowment to cover the expenses

The residents raised $117,000 with donations from 740 individuals in 1924. The Community House’s mission is to provide a setting for social, recreational and extracurricular needs of everyone in the community.

Moorestown Rotary Breakfast Club has been part of the Community House since 1986.

“Our Club is honored to help with the Capital Campaign to preserve the past of this award winning venue and be able to serve the community for the next 90 years,” Club President Scott Aschoff said.

Community House Executive Director Brad Kenney thanked the Rotary Breakfast Club for their pledge, and use of the Community Houses facilities for the last 29 years.

The Community House boasts 25,000 square feet, three floors and 29 rooms on two acres located on Main Street in Moorestown. It won South Jersey Magazine’s 2015 Best Traditional wedding, as well as Wedding Wire awards in 2014 and 2015.
