Drouin Rotary Club has presented two Paul Harris Fellowship awards to members Pauline Maunder and Kevin Roberts.

Immediate past president Tim Wills announced the awards at a recent club meeting.

The presentations were carried over from the 2019/20 Rotary year because formal club meetings had not been held due to COVID restrictions.

Ms Maunder has been a member of the club for 13 years, while Mr Roberts has been a member for seven years, both giving a great deal in service and for the betterment of the community.

They have filled a variety of offices and positions in Rotary and have been active in many of its fund-raising and service projects.

Ms Maunder joined Drouin Rotary in August 2007, and has been a club director, has held other offices within the club, and, often with her husband Brian (also a Paul Harris Fellow in recognition of his considerable community involvement), an active contributor to a range of service activities including youth services, the monthly markets, delivery of food packages from the Longwarry Foodbank, and the organising committee for the Australia Day Breakfast, of which she was chair for a number of years.

Mr Roberts became a member of Drouin Rotary in April 2013, and has been a very active hands-on contributor, leader and initiator of several club service activities.

He too, has been a club director and held other offices within the club. His service activities have included fund-raising projects, the clean-up after The Big Blokes barbecue, various projects at Yooralla house in Drouin, Farm World, The Ice Meltdown Project, the Men’s Shed, and the Ficifolia Festival. He also has been active in the communities in which he and his wife Diane have resided – many of his interests being concerned with schools and the youth.
