In a special presentation today, Past President Chris Perret announced that Herman Wahl was being made an Honorary Member of the club.
Herman joined the Rotary Club of Medicine Hat in 1962, and took the Rotary charge to heart, participating in club projects and activities for 57 years. He demonstrated the qualities of head and heart that epitomize being a Rotarian and has been an inspiration to many in the club. Herman was introduced to the club by Bill Sellhorn ( Anne Carrier's father) and was given the classification "flower farmer" to fit with his greenhouse industry business.
In 2019, Herman's health has been a challenge and he needed to reconsider active membership and took a leave of absence. The Membership Committee and the Rotary Board did not want to end over 57 years of dedicated service and fellowship and therefore converted his membership to honorary. What that hopefully means is all the fun and less of the work. We also hope to see Herman and Fran at future Rotary events and we all thank Herman for his many years of service to Rotary and the Community.
