A special presentation was made during our evening.
Eric Muckle was called to the lectern, to make an announcement.
I have pleasure of introducing a Rotarian who joined Rotary Matamata in 2001. Although has held office of Director of Foundation, has not held any other positions of responsibility within our Club. But let's not use this to judge the Character of the Man. When it comes to working bees or projects, you can be assured he will be a willing and able worker and see the project through to its conclusion. Easy going and good to talk to, it is hard to find a more congenial person.
Only a few years ago, he oversaw the project to provide Fiji a full container of used clothing, and household equipment for the families affected by a devastating cyclone.
He provided his excavator digger to cut a path on the Stanley Lane walkway project. This generous move meant a solution to a difficult task.
To his Church, he is a dedicated and faithful worker.
I can thoroughly recommend a Paul Harris Fellowship to a person, although sometimes inconspicuous is a brilliant example of the character of a Rotarian. Would you please welcome John Fernyhough PHF.
Members standing acclamation as John made his way to meet President David for presentation.
