Griggsville- Perry Middle School student, Chambra Kelley receiving an iPod from Rotarian Murray Martin. The iPod was the prize awarded to a randomly drawn student who attended the recent Anti Drinking and Drugs Program sponsored by the Pittsfield Rotary Club and Illini Community Health Care Foundation. Each attendee received a numbered sack and was required to keep their sack for a week as well as have a parent sign it. Chambra met all of the requirements to win the iPOD and was most anxious to use it. posted 5-11-07

Rotary Honors Judge Mark Drummond

Pittsfield Rotary Club presents Judge Drummond with Paul Harris Fellowship Award

President Revis presents Judge Mark Drummond with the Paul Harris fellowship award at the Club's January 31, 2007 meeting.

David Fuhler presented our newest Paul Harris Fellow Award to Judge Mark Drummond. Mark has been extremely helpful, and active, in assisting our Rotary Club in the Rotary Drug and Alcohol Program with the county’s schools. He gives a great deal of time, and has made extra efforts to make sure the students get the message about the dangers of both drugs and alcohol.

Welcome to the Paul Harris Fellow group from Pittsfield Rotary Club, Mark.
