In 2015 Summit SMT launched “Raritan River Week”. The initial goal of the project was to introduce the townships in the Raritan Headwaters Association region, to the Blue Star Certification Program launched by Clean Ocean Action. The goal is to show the connection of the “Headwaters to the Ocean”…which has become the slogan for Raritan River Week. Rokosny launched the Raritan River Week website (www.raritanriverweek.com) to promote the organizations that are involved in the preservation and maintenance of the Raritan River. The site shares events during and around Raritan River Week (anually in April), and gives readers a chance to donate to the groups and offers a plethora of additional resources. Information and updates are also provided at Facebook.com/raritanriverweek and on Twitter: @raritanriverwk.

Jim serves on the Board of Directors, and is the Treasurer of Friends and Citizens of Wesley Lake, a non-profit civic group working to restore the Wesley Lake between Ocean Grove and Asbury Park.
