Rotary Recognises Outstanding Performance

The ethos of Rotary is Service above Self and from time to time Rotarians like to show recognition of people who demonstrate this either within their chosen vocation or within their normal day to day life within the community. 

In this instance we would like to recognise the efforts of Andrea Kelly of Sainsbury's for the work she did with the Rotary Club of Middleton when she was our contact for arranging collection days/events etc. and on several occasions for going over and above what was required of her in order to help us. For example she drove to the Burnley store to collect some of the beakers we were giving as prizes in the Diamond Jubilee Card Competition. This was in her own time and at her own expense. She has come in to the store on her days off when we have been collecting to ensure everything was OK for us and also provided sweets for us to give to the children at Easter. These are just a few of the things she has done.

The Club is also grateful for the support it has shown, helping Rotary to raise money to benefit our local community. Every penny collected has been or will be given to worthy local causes.

President Jeffrey Lawton was delighted to award Andrea with a Rotary Vocational Certificate. Sue Furby, Chair of the Youth and Vocational Projects Committee said, "It's always a great pleasure in recognising the work which people do above and beyond their vocation. Andrea really deserves this award. I'd also like to thank Janice Powell for nominating her and for organising the event."
