Dr Jim Penny - 50 years a Rotarian!

Tue, May 19th 2015 at 6:00 pm -

Club Members were delighted to take the opportunity, during the Club's AGM, to celebrate Jim's continuous service of Crieff Rotary Club during the last 50 years and to recognise that fact by presenting him with a Paul Harris fellowship.


Yes, the eagle has landed and brought with it the highest accolade in Rotary International; the Paul Harris Fellowship which was dutifully presented to Crieff Rotary Club’s member of over 50 years, Dr. James Penny by President John who also proffered a cake (made by Janice McConnell) to celebrate Jim’s excellent support and involvement in the club spanning over half a century. A moving and informative vote of thanks was given by David Crosbie.
