We held our first Rocking with Rotary Concert at downtown Toms River at Huddy Park on June 4, 2022. We couldn't have asked for a more prefect day or better location. The weather was gorgeous so we not only had guests arrive by car and motorcycle, but also on boats. The bands played a variety of music and guests were able to relax in chairs with a beer from Battle River Brewing or dance in the park. It was so nice to see our community coming together to have a good time while supporting a great cause.

We want to thank everyone who in one way or another supported our first Rocking with Rotary Concert! There are many thanks to go around… our sponsors, vendors, food trucks, guests, club members and volunteers.

Savvy Fit Soaps promote health. Your skin is one of the largest organs, yet most of us use soaps with metals, dyes, fragrances, parabens, sulfates and other harmful ingredients that weep directly into our blood. Instead feed your body with nourishing top of the line oils, butters, fats, milks and essential oils.
