...Joe Mitchell was able to complete all of the donations from his presidential year. Our final donation was made to the Rotary Foundation, which allowed us to bestow a Paul Harris fellow on a club member. This year's recipient has been a champion of Taunton Rotary, was the leader of our 100th anniversary celebration, and exemplifies Rotary's motto of "Service Above Self": Dan Lebrun.

Congratulations, Dan!
