She is the President at the Rotary Club of Ludlow and serves as treasurer for both the Ludlow club and our District. The Wilbraham resident spent time in our area in the past when she was employed by Berkshire Bank.
The Foundation was pleased to honor several members for their generosity, those honored included: Adrienne DeBlieux Speed, Joanne Murphy (given by Alex Reczkowski), Carol Leibinger-Healey, Erik Ungewitter,
Fred Dery (to be presented to an associate), Jeff Hassett, John Hudnall (given by Donna Palma), Robert Harrison, Tom Hamel (for his law partners Mary Courtney and Darren Lee), Anne Marie O'Brien (given by John O'Brien)
Dave Hall & Tom Sherman received the District Foundation Award for 2nd highest per-capita giving on behalf of the club.
Eric Schaffer & Joan DiMartino contributed to honor Dr. John Reynolds. Eric Schaffer is also a major donor and should have been included with Dave Hall & Tom Sherman accepting the club award. Apologies to Eric for the oversite. Please consider making your annual contribution to support all the good things Rotary Foundation does.
