Over four decades ago a Detroit businessman elicited generous responses when he asked 100 business friends to contribute $200 each to the family of a young local police officer who was fatally wounded in the line of duty. This selfless act was the beginning of the 200 Club. 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 provides financial assistance, scholarships and valor recognition to law enforcement, fire and emergency service personnel and their families.
