Frank Brake awards
Outstanding Community Service awards to three people we have worked so successfully with in recent moths.
Rotary Clubs are
often privileged to partner with other people or organisations which contribute
to the success of a community project. In recognition of this, the Ashford Club has
made awards to three people who have made an outstanding contribution to local
or international causes.
The Outstanding
Community Service award was initiated by the late Frank Brake, a local
businessman and keen Rotarian.
At an awards
ceremony on 27th July, three people were presented with their ‘Frank
Brake Community Service Award’:
* Paul Underdown, Operations
Manager of FareShare Kent, for his dedication to the redistribution of donated food
to many local charities.
* Paul Mott, Guest
Experience Manager at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet in Ashford, and
* Greg McNeil,
also of McArthurGlen for making available a vacant unit at the Designer Outlet
and their work in collecting material and funds for war victims in Ukraine, and
again for earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria.
“We are hugely grateful for the kindness and
support of these three award winners who warmly deserve this recognition.” said
Amanda Cottrell, former High Sheriff of Kent and past President of The Rotary
Club of Ashford.
