About

Our History

In 1976, Robert A. Stephenson, then a member of the Somerset County Club, recommended to, Philip Van Ness, William Benner and Barrie T. McIntyre, who were all members of the North Hunterdon Rotary Club, thought it would be time for a 200 Club in Hunterdon County. This club would become the Hunterdon County Chapter and would provide financial assistance, scholarships and valor recognition to law enforcement, fire and emergency service personnel and their families.

Funding

The 200 Club of Hunterdon County receives its income from the dues and continuing annual support of its members. Initial dues are $200.00 per member and continuing annual support per member is $100.00. The 200 Club of Hunterdon County Board of Trustees, acting on recommendations of the Club’s Action Committee, directs the appropriation of funds. Those eligible to receive assistance from the 200 Club of Hunterdon County are next of kin of any police officer, fire fighter (volunteer or paid), ambulance or first aid squad member who represents a Hunterdon County agency and is killed or severely injured while in the line of duty

Administration

Policies of the 200 Club of Hunterdon County are established by the Club’s Officers and Board of Trustees, who meet to transact business of the Club on a regular basis. Various committees of the Club meet frequently, as needed, and their policies are administered by the Club’s staff.
