Recognition and Presentations
Des Hosken was recently the focus of our attention as members of Penzance Rotary wished him every success as he and his wife Birte move nearer to their daughter in Hampshire. Des has been a cornerstone of our Club for some 50 years.
Des has been President twice (forty years apart) and a regular member of the Club's executive team.
It was a great pleasure to have the company of the Mayor of Penzance, Cllr. Stephen Reynolds, who presented Des with a Lifetime Service Award on behalf of Penzance Council and Penzance Rotary with Mounts Bay.
The citation reads as follows . . ."In recognition and appreciation of a lifetime of dedicated public and voluntary service to the people of Penzance, Cornwall. For your loyalty and professionalism to the Rotary Club of Penzance over 50 years, for your service to the Scout Movement, Penzance and Cuxhaven Twinning Association, the Methodist Church, Penzance Tennis Club, and for your serving with distinction as Clerk to Penwith Council over many years.
