Service Above Self

The moment!

Last night Jenny and I attended the Heretaunga Club meeting where we honoured the service of PDG Stuart Macaskill (1975/76) and his lovely partner Trish.  Stuart is having to step back from active Club membership due to health reasons but he was invited back to accept an Honorary Membership from President Bruce.  I had the distinct pleasure of awarding a District PHF to Trish for her service to the local community and the support she has given to Stuart

over the years, and a Sapphire PHF to Stuart.  Here is a man who has given so much to the community, local body politics, the regional development activities as well as serving tirelessly as a Rotarian.  I was well supported by other local PDGs who attended.  IPDG David Watt spoke of his association with both Stuart and Trish and expressed his gratitude for their service.  From their reaction they were overwhelmed with the gesture and their smiles said it all.
