PUTNAM — The Putnam Rotary Club began its 102nd year of Service Above Self June 25 with the award of three prestigious Paul Harris Fellows and a welcome to its new officers.
All three of the newest Paul Harris Fellows were chosen for their remarkable service to the community.
Rotarian Shawn McNerney is a longtime chair of the Ronald P. Coderre Rotary Golf Tournament which is the primary source of charitable funds raised by the club, said Rotarian Marc Archambault, who nominated McNerney. “His commitment to the club and determination to put on an annual golf tournament that is a model for others and appreciated by all who participate, is unwavering. In this, he exemplifies the Rotary motto of Service Above Self.” He added that McNerney has guided the committee with a steady hand and it has raised more than $400,000 in the last 12 years.
Emily Morrison, director of development for United Services Inc., also won a Paul Harris Fellow award. Husband and Rotarian Andrew Morrison nominated her and said: “I nominated Emily for the Paul Harris Fellow Award because she embodies the Rotary ideal of ‘Service Above Self’ in every aspect of her life. From her professional work raising millions for community health initiatives to her personal commitment as a volunteer and leader in local non-profit organizations, Emily’s diligent service has positively impacted many people in our community. I am grateful to the Putnam Rotary Club for recognizing her many contributions to the Quiet Corner with the esteemed Paul Harris Fellow.”
The third Paul Harris Fellow awarded June 25 went to John Rauh. Rotarian Ronald P. Coderre, who nominated Rauh, said the award honors “People who exhibit the qualities of compassion, kindness and benevolence and who are generous and philanthropic in nature. People who espouse Rotary’s motto of – ‘Service above Self.’ Our recipient is a person who not only possesses these qualities but lives by the motto every day. Quiet, hardworking and unassuming, he’s like the cream in the old-fashioned milk bottles (for those of you who can remember) — he has a knack of rising to the top.” Rauh serves northeastern Connecticut in a multitude of ways, most recently as campaign general chairman of the Roseland Park/Golf Course Legacy Campaign “150 Years and Beyond.”
In addition to the prestigious Paul Harris Fellow awards, the club welcomed its new officers: President Douglas Porter, President-Elect Kathy Kirk, Secretary Martha Paquette, Treasurer Fred Chmura and Sergeants-at-Arms Jonathan Tremblay and Jonathan Sturdevant.
The Board of Directors includes the officers plus Jennifer Brytowski, Crystal Simonson, Pam Brown and Immediate Past President Amanda Kelly.

PUTNAM — This year 31 non-profit organizations are depending on sales of the cutie pie little yellow rubber duckies in the Pluck-a-Duck fund-raiser.
While sales are going well but organizers are not backing off.
Chair of the Putnam Business Association’s Pluck-a-Duck committee, Beth Markowski-Roop, and her team are everywhere they can be selling chances on the ducks. She and representatives from one of those non-profit organizations, Day Kimball Healthcare, were at the Putnam Saturday Farmers Market, selling raffle tickets.
Last year, she said, 26 non-profits pulled in $11,000 and the Putnam Business Association raised $25,000. For many the Pluck-a-Duck raffle is one of their major sources of funding.
The fund-raiser runs over two days, Aug. 11 and Aug. 12. Aug. 11 a much-expanded free Kids Corner will take place in Rotary Park during the Main Street Car Cruise. The ducks are plucked the next day in a secret location and all the winners are notified.
She said there are some great prizes this year. More info below.
New this year was an expansion of something else: The number of ducks. The group has 7,200 ducks. Markowski-Roop said “This is the first time in 30 years we’ve had to buy new ducks.” Because the state has strict rules on raffles, it required that the new ducks had to match the old ones in size, color, etc. The group worked with a group in China to make that happen. She thanked Earl Rosebrooks, director of Fluid Coating Technology, for being the delivery point for the 1,000 new ducks.
More info from the PBA website:
The Pluck-a-Duck event on Aug. 11 the event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the plucking is at noon at the secret location. The Aug. 11 Kids Corner in Rotary Park will include: Bounce Houses, Photo Booth, Arts & Crafts Tent, Xen’s Critters, petting zoo, Cotton Candy Station, Balloons by Bella, Face Painting, and Celebrity Dunk Tank. Post a special wish that would make you feel just ducky on the Wall Of Wishes, and a donation will be made to Make-A-Wish Connecticut, in support of creating live changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Aug. 12 thousands of rubber ducks will be ‘plucked’ for a chance to win 100+ fantastic prizes, including gift certificates, tickets to events, gift baskets and much more! And after all prizes have been plucked, the final 12 waddlers out of the pond will be selected for the “Lame Duck” prizes.
The PBA Pluck-a-Duck Raffle Event is the major fund-raising event for the Putnam Business Association. Funds raised will support future free community events such as Zombie Fashion Show, The Great Pumpkin Festival, and International Day, drawing thousands of visitors to the Quiet Corner.
