Rafael Simancas, a Roselle Park resident, joined the Rotary Club of Roselle-Roselle Park recently. As someone who enjoys being involved in his community, Simancas is proud of his work with the Roselle Park Community Garden.
 

Mr. Simancas is a licensed Medicare and Life Insurance Broker who has serviced the state of New Jersey for 6 years. In his own words, “From impoverished to affluent neighborhoods all across the nation, 10,000 people turn 65 every day and begin Medicare coverage. It's an honor to be the professional beneficiaries go to for guidance for the plan that best suits their needs and helping them with any questions regarding Social Security & Medicare.”

 

Rafael also started an art management company, Agape Arts NJ Management, based on past volunteer efforts ranging from working with school districts to doing public art/mural initiatives.

 

Mr. Simancas notes that, “Both companies operate in the realm of doing things with the community’s best interest at heart.”
 

The Rotary Club of Roselle-Roselle Park is a 97-year-old service organization serving the Twin Boroughs. The club is part of Rotary International which has 35,000 clubs in over 200 countries around the world. Rotary’s motto is Service Above Self.

 

Please welcome Rafael into the Rotary family. We look forward to taking full advantage of his time and expertise in the health and art fields to enable our organization to make a difference in our community, our world, and in the lives of others.

We spent a wonderful evening talking, laughing, planning and reconnecting with each other.
