President Dick Earne and the Club proudly presented Mary Haggerty with a Paul Harris Award at the Launch Club meeting on Wednesday the 24th. Mary, currently a Director, Membership Committee and Scholarships Chairs, was instrumental in starting the EarlyAct youth service clubs at both Huth Rd. and Kaegebein Schools. Hard working for G I Rotary and a faithful donor to the Rotary Foundation for many years, she is exactly the Rotarian to receive an award named for our founder Paul Harris, who in 1905 worked diligently to bring together business and professional folk into an organization that emphasized service to all mankind. Here she is with our current Scholarship winners Alex Melisz and Brianna Beyer.
