Prowse receives
highest honour
from Rotary Club
GRAND BEND - It was a night that Donald Prowse won't soon for-
get.
Thursday night at the Oakwood Inn, Prowse was awarded the high-
est honour bestowed by the Rotary International, the Paul Hams Fel-
lowship.
Named after the founder of Rotary which has 26,000 clubs including
the Grand Bend Rotary Club, Prowse was given the award for his
many years of dedication and commitment towards the community.
Several people had fine words to say about Prowse including long-
time friend Bob Edwards who played sports with Prowse for many
years.
"He was a team player who led by example. He was determined to
do his best. Once he made up his mind he persevered until a task was
done," said Edwards. "Despite the odds he won't quit, he just keeps on
trying."
Prowse is a charter member and past president of the Grand Bend
Rotary Club which celebrated it's Third Anniversary Thursday night.
Among the distinguished head table guests were District Governor
John Eberhard who not only made the presentations to Prowse but con-
gratulated the Grand Bend Rotary Club for it's efforts over the past
three years.
"I want to congratulate all of you for three years of wonderful ser-
vice," said Eberhard.
Since it began, the Grand Bend Rotary Club has raised $97,552 for
community projects including the Great Ride for Cancer and over
$22,000 towards the new elevator at the South Huron District High
School.

What can the planting of a tree
actually do?
When it's part of the Dinney
Funeral Home Commemorative
Woods Program it can do a lot.
By planting a tree in the Ausable
Conservation Area in honour of a
loved one, you can help heal
sorrow by paying lasting tribute
to that special person. In
addition, a memorial tree will
help assure a better environment
for future generations, combating
the greenhouse effect's
destruction of the earth's ozone
layer by replenishing our
depleting forests.
For each individual whose
funeral arrangements are
conducted through the Dinney
Funeral Home, a tree will be
planted free of charge. The name
of the deceased will be engraved
on our Commemorative Woods
Plaque located at our chapel, and
a dedication service will be held
m the fall at the Morrison Dam
Conservation Area. Tree planting
will be supervised by the Ausable
Bayfield Conservation Authority.
For just $35 (payable to the
Ausable Bayfield Conservation
Foundation this program is also
available to those not served by
Dinney Funeral Home. An "In
Memorium Card" will be sent to
confirm the planting of your
loved one's memorial tree and an
increase tax receipt will be issued
to you by the ABCA.
For more information on how
planting a memorial tree can
benefit you and the environment,
call Dinney Funeral Home today.
