The Morristown Rotary Club is marking it's centennial with a $90,000 donation to the Town of Morristown to build a pavilion at Lidgerwood Park.
This pavilion is one of the ways we are celebrating 100 years of service to the community as well as 100 years of continuing service into the future. - Steve Ellerman, President
