Rotarian of the Year

The Rotary Club of Hamlin honored its “Rotarian of the Year” at its July 19 meeting in Lake Ariel. Tatiana Black of Hamlin was awarded a plaque and a commendation for her service to the club. Presenting the award was outgoing President Terri Ditty.

 

In making the presentation, Ms Ditty noted that in addition to serving as Club Secretary, Tatiana participated in every club event and fundraiser and exemplified the meaning of “Rotarian”. The club’s fundraising events over the 12 preceding months included 2 flea markets, Chili Cook-off, Comedy Night and the annual Golf Tournament. Those events funded Safe Kids Fair with car seat and bike helmet giveaways, Scholarship for a Western Wayne graduate, funding for a student to attend youth leadership training, and the induction of high school students into Interact, a Rotary youth division.

 

The mission of Rotary International is to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through its fellowship of business, professional and community leaders. The club meets at 5:30 pm on Tuesday evenings at Bongo’s Roadhouse on Route 191. Anyone interested in finding out more about Rotary is welcome to attend.
