 Operation Santa Claus is an annual event sponsored by the Tribune Review. This program is administered through the local Salvation Army Chapters to provide ingredients for a holiday dinner, a voucher for meat at a local grocery store and age-appropriate books for children.
The Greensburg Rotary helped unload and arrange the food as it arrived at the Westmoreland County Parks Building on Donohoe Road. Once the food was off the truck, the Rotarians moved the pallets to the designated area and stacked the boxes of food in the assigned space. This setup will allow even more volunteers to go “shopping” and select the appropriate number of each item for local needy families. These packages are then delivered via the Salvation Army. |

A member of our club for over 35 years, long dedicated to Rotary Youth Exchange, a recipient of Rotary International's "Four Avenues of Service Award", Jim's dedication and service to Rotary is something we can all be proud of as Rotarians. With his recent passing, the James H. Harrold Excellence in Youth Exchange Award has become a memorial.
All of you personally witnessed Jim's long dedication to Rotary as well as Rotary Youth Exchange. He believed in each and every teen he met in this program and was ever a vocal advocate. Jim never understood how or why more Rotarians did not step up and get more involved in RYE, give more of themselves in this unique exercise WE all know "builds bridges of international friendship."
Each time Jim spoke on the subject - and Greensburg Rotary Club members heard him often - he was eloquent and deeply sincere. It wouldn't be far-fetched to believe that he gave each speech in the hope that it might be The One, when he might say just the right words to spark more interest, commitment and understanding for the value of Rotary Youth Exchange . . . and he never quit trying!
We are all saddened that Jim is no longer in this world and know how much we need more people and Rotarians just like him. We will miss him greatly. |
