I had the great honour to present a Service Above Self award in my last week as District Governor. Each District Governor can make one nomination each year and there are just 150 awards across the globe each year. These awards honour outstanding Rotarians and Rotaractors whose service activiteis deliver an impact to their communities.
Julian Smith, club president of Haddenham & District Rotary contacted me back in October and asked me to consider a nomination for Rotarian Martin Andrew. I was delighted to help.
Martin was recognised for his leadership of the team of volunteers at the local covid vaccination centre in Haddenham. He was approached by the local council when the vaccinations started across the country and he established a team of over 100 volunteers helping with the daily clinics. He has spent many hours organising the shifts and covering shifts himself.
Well done to Martin and to all members of the Haddenham team within and beyond the Rotary club.
