Our current President joined Rotary in 2003.
After attending several meetings, Bill knew Rotary was a means of meeting and helping people in his new community and around the world.
Through Rotary Bill has met lots of amazing people, and developed many strong and lasting friendships.
However, the most satisfying aspect of being a Rotarian is "the impact you have to make people's lives better".
Whether fighting food scarcity, supporting sports, student scholarships or providing students with a backpack for school or a Splash Pad to play in, Shelburne Rotary makes a difference in people's lives.
It was during a business trip to Washington, DC and attending a Rotary meeting there one evening, that Bill learned about the Grade 3 dictionary project.
Bill proposed, and Shelburne Rotary approved, providing local grade 3 students with their own dictionary to help literacy and learning.
(After many years of giving local grade 3 students their own dictionary, with technology replacing printed dictionaries, the club no longer supports this project).
Thank you Bill for your over 20 years of service to Rotary and our community.
