Couple treasure years on job
BY ANDY BADER
A treasurer's job is never an easy one,
whether it's controlling the finances of a
major city or town or simply juggling your
home finances,, But when you've been at it for
15 years, you must like what you're doing.
Orval and Toleda Parrott, of RR 2,
Monkton, have been in control of the
Brodhagen Chamber of Commerce finances
for the past 15 years. Recently, however, they
decided they'd had enough, so they handed
over the job to a younger couple in the
organization. Two weeks ago, on February
21, the couple received a handsome wall
chime -clock for their hard work and dedica7
tion from their associates at the chamber of
commerce.
"W a offered to take the job 15 years ago,"
Toleda Parrott said last week, "The job was
open so we decided to do it. At times and in
certain years it was•a lot of work, but it was
worth it,"
"We decided we'd had enough," Orval
Parrott said. "We figured it was up to the
younger members to carryon with it. You can
only keep these types of jobs for so long.
You're going to have to give it up sometime."
Dale and Debbie Bennewies, the younger
members of the organization the Parrott's
spoke of, started their duties as treasurer on
February 1,
"We were wanting to give it up a year or so
ago," Mrs. Parrott said. "Finally, we said
we'd had enough."
Mr, and Mrs, Parrott have been members
of the Brodhagen and District Chamber of
Commerce for the past 25 years, the last 15,
as mentioned earlier, as treasurers. The
organization, which began 27 years ago, has
approximately 45 members now, but at one
time, Mr. Parrott said, 60 or so belonged to
the group.
"It's not grown as fast now," he said.
"We're losing a few. A lot of the younger
members are coming in and joining,
though."
A couple of the major accomplishments the
Chamber of Commerce have initiated have
been' the addition of washrooms at the
Brodhagen hall and the construction of
horseshoe pits, along with the horseshoe
dub, Mr. Parrott said.
Mrs. Parrott, originally from Brodhagen,
TREASURERS REWARDED — Orval Parrott, right, and his wife Toleda, of RR 2, Monkton,
have been the treasurers of the Brodhagen and District Chamber of Commerce for the past
15 years. Recently, the couple received a clock as a gift from their peers at the organization
for the work they've done. Dale and Debbie Bennewles started their new duties as treasurer
Feb. 1. Andy Bader photo
and Mr., Parrott have lived all of their married
lives at their farm at RR 2, Monkton. The
couple have two girls, Mrs. Roy Beuerman of
RR 1 Dublin, and Joyce of Kitchener. They
also have two grandchildren, Beverly, 19,
and Blair, 15.
The retired farmers were surprised when
they found out about the clock presentation.
