Rotarians honoured for longtime service

Rotary

The Rotary Club honoured some of its most senior members last Monday, and the years of service they have given to the community. 

Bob Friesen was presented with his 25-year award, John Kohut was presented with his 40-year award and Jim Fisher was presented with his 50-year award.

For Kohut, it has been a rewarding four decades.

“It’s a good organization, you make a lot of friends, and when you work on these projects together it gives you a sense of feeling that you are doing something together for the community.”

He takes pride in the work they have done, but hopes they can keep their numbers up.

“We have to try to create some interest to get new members in and get them involved and show them you are part of the club,” he said

Some of the highlights for Kohut was working on building the Aquaplex along with other service groups in the areas.

“That is one of the biggest projects in Drumheller,” he said. “There are more service clubs in Drumheller, and we like to hold our heads high and think we are the best one, but every one of the service clubs have done their part for Drumheller.”

They were presented their awards by Rotary District Governor Martin Harvey.
