Wakefield Rotary Honors Committed Members

The Wakefield Rotary Club recently recognized 14 of its members who have reached perfect attendance during the Rotary year 2016-17. Although the minimum attendance requirements by Rotary International have eased, many of the Wakefield Rotarians take pride in attaining or maintaining perfect attendance. This is achieved by attending regular weekly meetings, by visiting other clubs both locally and world-wide or by attending an e-meeting online. “This just demonstrates the commitment our members have to Rotary and the community,” commented long-time member Judy Gordon. Gordon along with fellow members Barbara Worley, Joe Buscaino, Jim Fitzgerald, Bruce Donovan, Tom Stapleton, Amy Luckiewicz, Lisa Roderick, Elaine Guaetta, Suzanne Bowering, Fred Singer, Jim Tarpey, Frank Fiorentino, and Jay Curley have accrued a cumulative number of 242 years of perfect attendance. Curley received special notice for his 46 years straight of perfect attendance. To learn more about Rotary visit www.wakefieldrotaryclub.org.

About Rotary International & Wakefield Rotary Club

The Wakefield Rotary Club meets each Tuesday at noon at Harrington's Restaurant on Water Street.
