The Flin Flon Rotary Club recognized some long time volunteers in our community earlier tonight, by handing out the highest honor they can bestow with the Paul Harris Awards.
The ceremony took place at the Flin Flon Rotary Wheel with both a Rotarian and Non Rotarian being recognized.

The Rotarian Of The Year went to John Clark who is in his second stint with the Flin Flon Rotary Club. John has been involved in Rotary for over ten years and has served on many committees and held various roles on different projects.
President Connie Nelson says it is very important to recognize all these volunteers. " I think anytime we can honor anybody that comes out to volunteer or help in our communities, it is a big night. This is just one of those nights and fortunately we have a club that is very much service above self. This Paul Harris Award is a pretty prestigious award and I think coming together like this has been a big success to celebrate."
There was also a presentation made to the Inner Wheel Club who accepted a cheque to go towards different community projects that they continue to support in Flin Flon and area.
