Rotarians Got Heart 💜
What a thrill to have bestowed the Rotarian at Heart award to Gina Mooring Arrasmith for her years of dedication and generosity to our Club.
Each year we eagerly await the announcement of Rotarian of the Year, and this year's award
went to another rockstar - Stephanie Rondeau!
Always calm, creative, and committed, she
goes above and beyond without ever seeking
praise. Her work ensures everything runs
smoothly and her quiet excellence lifts us all.
