Honours awarded at Rotary milestone dinner
EIGHTY years of serving the community was celebrated by Mareeba Rotary recently, with a dinner at the Mareeba International Club.
The evening provided an insight into how Rotary was when they were first started in Mareeba in 1944, stories were shared and nostalgic songs were sung.
As part of the celebration, the club awarded four Paul Harris Fellows to Lion Terry Wallace, Sergeant Mary Anne West of Mareeba PCYC and Victoria and Simon Crosby, owners of the Hungry Pug in Mareeba honouring their commitment to enhancing our community.
Volunteer organisations play an integral part of our community and Mareeba Rotary has certainly achieved much in its eight decades of service including hosting the annual Carols by Candlelight, the Rotary FNQ Field Days every two years and the Youth Speaks competition.
Rotary membership director Ida Portella is encouraging people in the community to step up and join the organisation.
If anyone wishes to know more about being part of Rotary, contact Ida on 0439 545 433.
