Mr. Barnoff, a Past-President of the Aberdeen Rotary Club, currently co-Chairs the Golf Tournament Committee, an event held annually in September. He is also a member of the Bull Roast Committee, an event held annually in March.

In 2006, these two major fundraising events combined raise over $67,000.00, of which $40,000.00 was donated to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Harford County and $4,000.00 to a college scholarship fund for Aberdeeen High School students. The remaining funds were divided equally among various worthy local charitable organizations, such as Harford Habitat for Humanity, Harford Family House, the Arc of Northern Chesapeake, the LPGA First Tee program, the Aberdeen High School Band, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and the Harford Music Festival in support of the Johns Hopkins Children's Center. During the holiday season, the club's members "rang the bell" for the Salvation Army, raising over $3,000.00.

The Aberdeen Rotary Club's membership is comprised of prominent local business owners and organization leaders, who meets weekly on Mondays at the Aberdeen Holiday Inn. For more information, visit www.rotaryclubaberdeen.org.
