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.

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.
