Michael's a certified success after 60 years service
Rotary International celebrates member's six decades
A member of the Rotary Club of Rotherham has been recognised for his six decades of service with a certificate from the international organisation.
On behalf of Rotary International, Michael Brumpton was presented with a certificate in recognition of his 60 years’ membership of the Rotary Club of Rotherham.
Michael – who joined on August 1 1966 - said: “I was delighted and surprised to receive the 60-year service certificate from the US-based Chair of Rotary International, presented to me by our Club President Geoffrey Cooper.
“My time with the Rotary Club of Rotherham has resulted in innumerable lifelong friendships and the opportunity to join many of them in charitable activities, both local and international.”
The Rotary Club of Rotherham is part of a worldwide organisation of over two million men and women who volunteer their time, professional skills and energy to improving the lives of people in their local communities and others around the world.
Highlights locally this year for the Rotherham branch include helping to welcome Vicky McClure’s Our Dementia Choir to Greasbrough Working Men's Club to perform with Rotherham’s mixed voice choir Friends in Harmony in March.
More recently, Rotherham Rotary Club, in conjunction with Rotherham Council, organised a school art competition which was held at Skills Street at Gulliver's Valley where the schools' Picture This Exhibition was also displayed.
