It was a great honour this past year to give Dora MacFarlane, one of our members, her 50 year pin. Dora joined IODE Margaret Stokes in 1962 and was the Chapter's President in 1970-71. Congratulations!
This Summer, the Petrolia Rotary Club honoured our own Jean Windover with a Paul Harris Fellowship award in recognition of her many years of community service and involvement. The Rotary Club Paul Harris Fellowship is a prestigious award established by Rotary International as a means of giving recognition and showing appreciation for the activity of individuals who exemplify the Rotary motto, "Serve above Self." Well deserved, Jean!
