An Outstanding Rotarian is Honoured

 At their regular noon meeting today, Willard J. Chapman of the Rotary Club of Peterborough was awarded with the Avenues of Service Citation.  Willard, a resident of the beautiful Canterbury Gardens where the meeting was held, received the unexpected award for his numerous volunteer activities related directly and indirectly to his being a Rotarian for the last 45 years.  Willard served in many different roles in all five Avenues of Service at both the Club and District level.   At the Club level he was Club President, GSE leader to Australia, YE Counsellor, and the chair of a number of committees including the 1981 District 7010 Conference committee.  At the District Willard was a District Governor Rep. for 1 year and District 7010 Treasurer for 10 years.  In Peterborough Willard also sat on a number of Boards including that of  St.Joseph's Hospital Foundation; he was also a Big Brother and founding member of the revitalized Camp Kawartha on Clear Lake and a supporter in the founding of Five Counties Childrens' Centre.  The award came as a complete surprise and well deserved honour to Rotarian Willard.
