Two members of the Rotary Club of Oakland, Tom Carr and John Heterick, were recently honored by Rotary International by being named Paul Harris Fellows. This prestigious award, named for the founder of Rotary International, honors members of local clubs who have been of outstanding service to the club and local community, and was presented at the Club’s recent holiday party.
Hetrick is the immediate past president of the Rotary Club of Oakland and has been involved in a number of Rotary fundraising and service projects, as has Carr, also a past president and board secretary and procurement chair who ensures an effective supply chain for Rotary’s sizable French Fry efforts that raise funds for local charities and individuals in need. Members present celebrated another year of service to the community, fundraising to help those in need, and numerous projects designed to make the Oakland area a better place for all during the holiday season and throughout the year.
