Last Week We Recognized Service Above Self With Our Inaugural Vocational Service Awards

In Case You Missed It….

At our January 13 meeting we presented our Vocational Service Awards, honouring individuals in our community who go above and beyond by exemplifying Rotary values in their professional lives. 

The Vocational Service Award for a Rotarian was presented to John Hamill, while the non-Rotarian award was presented to Chris Peacock of the Sharing Place Food Centre. 

See below for a link to the recording of last week's meeting, and for more photos and information about the Vocational Service Awards, see our Facebook page or this article published by Orillia Matters.

This Week's Meeting

This week we will be hearing from City of Orillia Mayor Don McIsaac, who will be providing an update on what's new at City Hall. There will be a Q & A following the Mayor's presentation, and, in the interest of time, please send your questions in writing to Allan Lafontaine ahead of the meeting.

We'll also be doing student of the month presentations.
