After dinner, Jim Kozlowski presented this year's Paul Harris Fellowship award to Lynn Wozniak. Jim talked about Lynn's "service above self" outside of Rotary as a chaplain at RGH and a youth coordinator at St. Kateri as well as all the work she does in our Club. Lynn has been a past President, Secretary, is Treasurer for the 2nd year in a row, and does many other works behind the scenes without fanfare. She "enjoys" doing the dishes for the Pasta Dinner! With this award, Lynn becomes a "Paul Harris Fellow +3" but this is the first award from our club in her name.
Dave Hannan, Past District Governor and Foundation Chair of District 7120 next presented Kenn Van Dieren with a Major Donor Award. The Major Donor award goes to individuals who have contributed $10,000 to the Rotary Foundation. Kenn was close to this recognition earlier this year and the Irondequoit Rotary Club took the initiative to put him over the top! Big Congrats to Kenn and Deb Van Dieren for all they do for our club and the Rotary Foundation! |
