ALWAYS TIME FOR A PAUL HARRIS OR TWO
The Rotary Club of Lancaster-Depew is pleased to announce it has recently awarded two Paul Harris Fellows.
Pictured here (on the left), 50-plus year member and past president (1964-65) William Kotansky received a PHF+1, having received his first PHF in 1983. Of over 50 PHFs that the club has bestowed among members over the years, Bill received the 5th. Bill has been instrumental in many projects for Rotary including the construction of the club's concession stand. A stand that has provided funding for dozens, likely over 100 need-based college scholarships. Bill was also recognized for his long-standing membership and participation, by Rotary International earlier this year. The award was presented by Robert Benzel, club president and District Governor Nominee Robert Artis.
On the right, Mark Jerge, General Manager of Russell’s and Honorary Member of the club received a PHF as well. Mark is an Honorary Member that participates on a level with an Active Member. He attends meetings, joins in and helps in any way he can, that his time allows. Mark’s award was presented by Robert Benzel, club president and John Huber, past president.
