45 Year Rotarian Recognized at Hospital Garden!The Board and the Clarice West Hobbs Garden Committee of the Rotary Club of St. Catharines Lakeshore were pleased to honour long-time member Doug and spouse Else Weeks by dedicating one of the Sitting Rocks at the Garden to them at a special event on August 21st.
Doug is by far our Club’s longest serving Rotarian, as a member of the Rotary Club of St. Catharines for 6 to 7 years prior to Lakeshore Club’s founding, and of course as a Charter member of the Lakeshore Club (45 years in total).
The list of Doug’s contributions over the years is enormous, from creating our Lobsterfest burners, to building the original Charles Ansel Park fence along the Welland Canal, to always being first with a generous contribution for any project the Club has ever undertaken.
Else was always there right beside Doug in his endeavours, and in particular during Lobsterfest Saturday set-up, and washing everything in sight the Sunday morning after at tear-down. You never had to ask Doug and Else to help with any project or event; they were always right there as long as they have been able.
