Each year, St. Johnsbury Rotary gives Community Service awards to area high school seniors going on to post-secondary education or pursuing technical/vocational training. Students at St. Johnsbury Academy, Danville High School and Hazen Union High School are eligible to apply.
An application process takes place and includes: a letter from the student, outlining their community service and their plans for the future; a statement of need; letters of recommendations; and a resume of community service. All applicants need to reflect the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self.”
Starting this year, St. Johnsbury Rotary is partnering with Northeast Kingdom Human Services (NKHS) to provide an additional service award opportunity for local graduating seniors who are furthering their education in the human services/mental health areas at a college in Vermont. This annual award is being made through NKHS’s Wellness Committee and is provided by donations their employees make on “Jeans Days.”
This year’s recipients of St. Johnsbury Rotary’s $1,000 Community Service Awards are Allie Beliveau, Liza Morse and Zeb Kane.
Allie Beliveau, a 2022 graduate of Danville High School, plans to attend White Mountains Community College in the fall to study in the Culinary Arts field. She is the daughter of Stacie Ruggles and Chris Beliveau.
Liza Morse, also a 2022 graduate of Danville High School, plans to attend Dartmouth College in the fall, majoring in Biology and minoring in Music. She is the daughter of Spencer and Lauren Morse.
Zeb Kane, a 2022 graduate of St. Johnsbury Academy, plans to attend Champlain College this fall, majoring in Business Administration. He is the son of Adam and Andrea Kane.
Lauren Thomas, a 2022 graduate of Hazen Union School in Hardwick, is the recipient of the Northeast Kingdom Human Services Service $200 award. She plans to attend Castleton University in the fall, pursuing a degree in Nursing. She is the daughter of Peggy Thomas and Mark Fletcher.
This years sponsors of the St. Johnsbury Rotary Club make it possible for the club to offer these Community Service Awards to the graduating seniors: Milne Financial Planning, Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital, Community National Bank, Passumpsic Savings Bank and NFP.

St. Johnsbury Rotary Club member, Bruce Corrette, recently achieved the Paul Harris plus-6 designation for his support of the Rotary Foundation. A member of the St. Johnsbury Rotary Club for 53 years, he has been an inspiration to other Rotarians, and a true believer in the mission of Rotary. He will also become a member of the Paul Harris Society — those who give a $1,000 a year to the Rotary Foundation.
Jamie Milne, chair of the Club’s Rotary Foundation, said, “Bruce has been a long time member of the St. Johnsbury Rotary Club. Not only has he supported our club’s service projects, he has supported the Rotary Foundation and is a multiple Paul Harris Award recipient. Members receive a Paul Harris Award for every $1,000 they donate to the Rotary Foundation. Bruce’s leadership in our community is a great example of Rotary’s motto, “service above self.” We are proud and lucky to have him as a member of our club.”
Of his award, Bruce said, “I give to the Rotary Foundation because I’d do anything to support Rotary’s programs and they need this money to fight Polio.”
Bruce is one of the first members of the St. Johnsbury club to become a Paul Harris fellow. Jamie Milne, at right, recently presented him with the award.
