Honoring Those Who Make a Difference

Representing the entire Burnsville Rotary club, Tom Hazlett was proud to award a Paul Harris Community Award to:

• Ames Construction, an upstanding local company and generous supporter of Rotary.

• Goodrich Sensors' Integrated Systems Division, an internationally lauded Burnsville company that has graciously hosted and supported our annual high school Ethics Program.  

Tom also honored our club members who have donated $1,000 or more to the Rotary International Foundation with a Paul Harris Club Award. Those receiving recognition included:

Mark Kasma
Ted Ault
Barb Tillemans (her second Paul Harris)
Jeff Marian (his second award)
Fred Lange (second award) 
JB Ball (third award)
Roy Cogswell (fourth award)
Joe Baer (fourth award)
Dick Manley (fifth award)
Ron DeMars (fifth award)
Gil Matthews (sixth award)

For each of the Paul Harris Fellow awards given, a $1,000 donation will be made in the honoree's name to the Rotary Interational Foundation.

The generosity  on display is impressive -- thank you to the winners and to every member who donates to the Rotary International Foundation. As Tom pointed out during the award ceremony, donations to the charity are more important as ever, as we struggle to raise the last few millions to help eradicate polio completely. If you are interested in donating or pledging a future donation, speak with Tom.
