A special Rotarian remembered

Some of Sharon Booth’s Rotary friends attended a ceremony at the Goldfields school hall on Oct 16 to rename the hall in her honour.

During her part in the ceremony President Pam spoke about Sharon’s love of young people and her strong contribution to Rotary over 12 years, as well as her being awarded a PHF on Oct 19 2015, almost 5 years to the day since the re-naming event. Then as Sharon would have wanted, and no doubt expected, Pam and Sally had a drink in Sharon’s honour from the specially produced Sharon Booth wine.
