During the club's 16th Annual Past President's Dinner club at Trillium Trails, club president John Richardson announced that Debbie McGarry and Heather Haliburton-Smith would be co-winners of the 1997 Rotarian of the Year award. "After much thought and discussion, we decid- ed to award both of these ladies the award," said Mr. Richardson shortly after the Oct. 24 presen- tation.
