Rotarians receive awards

The Rotary Club of Newcastle recently bestowed two "Paul Harris Fellow" (PHF) awards on local recipients during year-ending meetings. The first was to the Comeau family of Nordin for their community volunteerism.

The second was to past president Wally MacLean, who was also club president of the year for District 7810 a year ago. A PHF is the highest honour a Rotary club can award - in recognition of naming the individual(s), a $1000 donation is sent to the Rotary Foundation in the name of the recipient.
