Nancy Harris Induction
Posted by Bill Molesworth
Fred Hacker said he was sad to see Gord go, but he was pleased to welcome a new member. Nancy Harris is from Toronto, is married with 3 children and 3 grandchildren.
She had an active childhood visiting shut ins and teaching Sunday School before going to work for Bata. She went to the TD and rose to become an Assistant Manager before taking a Batchelor's Degree. In 1980 Wayne was transferred here and Nancy stayed at home with the kids but ran a daycare and a craft business on the side.
She worked with the Girl Guides, helped a Carolling Choir and volunteered at HDH as well and then, in 1988, she opened a retail outlet at Mountanview. In 2004 she had an Accounting business and a Home Cleaning business, along with the craft store.
Now she also volunteers with the Out of the Cold program, the Woman's Foundation and the Parents' Group at MSS and is President of the Women's Business Organization.
Rod commented that her's would be the first badge to read 'conglomerate'. Rod explained that Rotary presented many opportunities but also had some obligations, among them attendance. The emphasis on attendance is one reason Rotary is successful where other service clubs have faltered.
Rotary is an expense, but it is about more than just getting your money's worth. It makes you part of an organization that accomplishes great things both locally and worldwide. Rod invited Joyce to present Nancy with her regalia.

Rob Thompson said he had had an opportunity to learn more about the Rotary Foundation, and he encouraged all of us to do the same. This is a permanent fund that spends only the interest so the capital is maintained in perpetuity. When Rob first went to a Convention he was impressed by how much is done by the fund and how well the fund is managed. The major source of funds is legacies and he said he was taking the opportunity to give special recognition to Joyce Campbell for her action in becoming a Benefactor.
This shows that she understands the problems of the world and that she wants to work towards peace. The Rotary Foundation Trustees and the Club extends their thanks to Joyce
