Bob Perks has retired from active membership with the club after 33 years of active service. However, he returned today to accept a Certificate of Honourary Membership (seen here with Craig Hunter).
 
Bob started his career in the oil refinery business with Frontenac Oil in Port Credit before moving to Port Dover and joining Rotary in 1990. He served as club President in 2008/9. Bob is also a multiple Paul Harris Fellow.
 
Our Rotarian John Featherstone recalled the generosity and fellowship of Rotary on the occasions when he and his wife Deb would share a meal and beverage at Bob's house or upon an invitation to the entire Board of Directors.
 
Bob, it's an honour to know you - congratulations.
