Thie Convery Receives Regional Service Award

Thie Convery holds her Rotary Foundation Regional Service Award for outstanding service in polio eradication that was presented to her by Assistant Rotary Foundation Coordinator Bob Bruce and Rotary District Governor Karen Oakes at the district’s assembly held in Niagara Falls NY.

Thie’s Lake Ontario swim last year raised over $170 000 across Canada. This was enough to give the oral polio vaccine to over 350 000 children throughout the polio endemic countries of Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Nigeria.

Along with the over 200 district Rotarians who shared this moment were club members Bruce Eccles, Harold Gruneberg, Wayne Massey, Derek Price, Lathy Starodub, Joe Guedes, Ralph Montesanto, Bob Morrow, Shirley Molloy and Dave Carson
