Guelph South Members Honored by Rotary International
At our June 20th weekly meeting, Immediate Past District 7080 Governor Brenda Halloran was in attendance and presented two members - Charlie Barnes and Martin Litchfield - with "Avenues of Service Award" certificates from Rotary International.
Charlie received his award for his Community Service contributions over many years, including his support and fundraising for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund and in particular his participation in the planning of the Tour de Guelph cycling events including his personal fundraising for his rides in the events, in excess of $100,000!
Martin received one for his Youth Service contributions over many years, including hosting Youth Exchange students, coaching of youth sports, mentoring of youth in tree planting, his involvement with Camp Enterprise and chairing our Youth Service Committee. Martin's son Norm, a past Rotarian himself, was in attendance to see his dad get the award.
