2022 11 Dana Atwell PHF
Our Club recognized a major life change for Dana Atwell and Sue, as they make their way to live close to family in Ontario. At a recent meeting, and reflecting the appreciation of all members of the Rotary Club of Dartmouth, Dana was presented with a Paul Harris Award. The award recognized Dana's participation in Club events and administration in so many ways since 2005. He has served as Club President, as a participant in community and international service projects and in the important role as our ClubRunner guru. We wish Dana and Sue well in their new home, and hope to see them from time to time virtually and in person.
2022 10 NS Adopt-A-Highway 
The Fall 2022 Wyse Road Highway Clean Up day took part on Saturday, October 29th, with about 10 Rotarians attending along with our RYE person, Chiara. Everyone was well equipped with safety gear, garbage bags and grabbers, although it did take 4 people to assist one of our members assemble his safety vest correctly. We retrieved lots of coffee cups, recyclables, sheet metal and other things tossed to the side of the road in Burnside and ready now for proper disposal.

2022 Golf Tournament
Wednesday September 14th marked the 9th annual charity golf tournament for the Rotary Club of Dartmouth.  This year again the tournament was held in support of the Boy’s & Girl’s Clubs of Greater Halifax.   
 
Sixty-Six (66) golfers gathered at the Chester Golf Club on what proved to be a glorious day.  The tournament was a scramble format and the winning team of Ken McCormick, Mike Tanner, Ron Himmleman, and Terry Baker (pictured here) came in with a score of 15 under. 
 
The game was followed by a fantastic meal put on by the Chester Golf Club, an awards ceremony, prize give aways and a silent auction.  
All in all, proceeds from the tournament are expected to be in the range of $10,000.
 
Many thanks to all those who participated in the tournament, our volunteers, the Chester Golf Club and our many sponsors who helped to make this tournament a success.
