At our Club Christmas Party/ Dinner Dance Jan Simpson was inducted as a Paul Harris Fellow, recognising the significant contribution that she has made to the community over many years.
Rotarian Ray Manchester and President Ross both spoke in making this prestigious award to Jan. Ray's wife Margery Withycombe also spoke of Jan's dedicated service especially to Inner Wheel.
The Citation accompanying Jan's Award read as follows:
"Jan joined the Moorooduc Fire Brigade Ladies Auxiliary over 20 years ago.
She attended Auxiliary meetings to discuss business and the planning of events.
Catering at the Station when Moorooduc was manned as the Incident Control Centre on High Risk Summer days was facilitated by Jan. This has only ceased in the last couple of years.
At the CFA dinners, Jan was responsible for ticket sales, setting up the dinner tables; the provision of desserts and other culinary masterpieces.
In addition, and among other services, Jan and another auxiliary CFA member routinely cleaned the CFA Moorooduc station, nominally on a roster system which Jan chose to ignore. Others would routinely arrive only to find that the Station was mysteriously spic and span.
Jan is a dedicated wife and mother who has still found significant time to provide selfless, continual service to our community.
The Nominating Committee emphatically commends Jan Simpson as a worth Paul Harris Fellow".
Jan was accompanied at Saturday's Christmas Party/ Dinner Dance, by her husband, Honorary Life Member of our Club, Jim Simpson.
