During her year as President of the Rotary Club of Belleville, Karen decided to acknowledge a Rotarian from the Club, one each month. The August recipient is a recent member of the Club, joining in December 2023. In a few short months, he has truly demonstrated what it means to be a Rotarian and to put Service Above Self. This member has maintained a 100% attendance record since joining and has managed to bank a lot of makeups for committee work. Since July 1st, he has manned a spot on the Waterfront Festival parking team, working the entire shift. He also did trible duty at Party in the Square, acting as a Captain as well as a Bar Server. His wife, Shannon and daughter Bella helped sell bar tickets. A family of "Smart Servers". He has also sold Belleville Senator 50/50 tickets on behalf of the Club (pictured here in action with his wife Shannon)
Rotarian Jared Bellemare was asked to the front so that Karen could present him with his Angel Certificate, an Angel pin and in recognition of this year's Rotary theme "The Magic of Rotary", Jared was invited to choose a magic wand from the box.
