In memoriam - Suzanne Benoit

Posted by Craig Clarke on Aug 29, 2016

Suzanne died July 30^th at the age of 64.

Her informal title in our club was the "commissaire of fun"

At the time of her induction as a new member in 2002, a thunderstorm outside portended her campaign to shake things up. She insisted that everyone arriving at meetings get a hug, members & visitors alike. In 2013, District Governor Pete Taylor gave her the “energizer pin”, an award presented to one outstanding member who shows extraordinary enthusiasm for the work of Rotary.

She served as Treasurer and President of the club, and was a willing volunteer at club events. She was a regular at the Dragon Boat Festival and at our monthly Community Breakfasts where she took control of dish washing and was known to use squirts from the high pressure hose for discipline.

She was a Paul Harris Fellow and a Benefactor.
