Rotarian April Feasby, Goodwill President Karen Drobnich and Rotary President Jackie Van Lankveld.
This is a very fitting time of year to present this posthumous Paul Harris Fellow in memory of Laura Hills, as we “wrap up” Rotary Auction.
For those of you who didn’t know Laura she absolutely “Loved” the auction!!
As Laura rose to become CEO at Goodwill, she too took on a more active role in Rotary becoming our Treasurer in 2014, a role she retained until her passing in 2019. When Goodwill moved their offices from Church Street to their current location on Ridley Road, it was Laura who ensured that our Rotary Office would move with the Goodwill Office and continue a have a place to call home and a “roof over our heads”.
Thus, it is appropriate as we presented this Paul Harris Award to Karen Drobnich CEO along with Laura’s Goodwill family and her Rotary family attending today, that Laura’s enduring love of these “families” will continue to live on forever!
