We learned the sad news that long time Rotarian Marshall Raser has passed away. Raser was just shy of his 98th birthday when he passed and was the patriarch of Carr Hardware. Marshall was a lifelong Rotarian and served as the past President of the Pittsfield Rotary Club, also as Assistant District Governor aid, and he was honored with the Paul Harris Fellow Award for his service. He volunteered for 40 years with his wife Marian for Freedom Guide Dogs where they boarded, trained, placed, and fundraised for the blind. He served on the board of the Lake Onota Preservation Association and the Pittsfield Economic Development Center (PERC) along with many other local boards and charities.In his honor, the Board has agreed to match all fines at our next luncheon, slated for March 26th. Fines raised will be added to the Whitehouse Scholarship fund. Photo credit: Berkshire Eagle
