Rotary Club of Chatham Sunrise held a surprise celebration on Dec. 4th  for Paul Roy as a leader and one of the founding charter members of the Club 20 years ago on March 20th, 1998.
Rotarians, friends and family were there to congratulate Paul as he was named an Honorary Rotarian.  Past District Governors Keith Koke,  Audrey Chevalier, Barry Fraser and DG Elect Don Leonard were present to honour Paul and his wife Rose Marie.  Paul has 34 years of “ Service Above Self “ and has contributed to many local and international projects. Paul had his roots in agriculture as owner of King Grain. He lead the Club in many Environmental projects that helped beautify Chatham trails including daffodil and tree planting. He was instrumental in creating the Roses for Rotary annual fundraiser campaign to raise money for Club.  He created a hybrid rose and named the “Sunrise rose”  and annually has donated the Royalties to the Club. Paul’s comment:  “think of the hours our members have spent organizing student exchange, Interact Club , speakers, bingos, Ribfest, fundraising , garage sales, welcoming new members... It is not only me,  be All of us!"  Merci Beaucoup Paul.
