Retiring board member honoured

The Foundation Board of Directors gathered together on September 21 for a tribute tea to retiring member Shirley Rowland.

Shirley joined the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation board in 2005. She has been an active member of the Auxiliary to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering for an amazing 60 years, during which time she served as president, treasurer, secretary and historian, a position she still holds.

Shirley has volunteered with other community organizations as well, often serving on their executive board. All her tireless work earned her an Ajax Civic Award in 2002, presented by the Ajax Optimist Club.

Thank you Shirley, for your example of volunteer leadership and your dedicated service to the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering community.

(L-R) Bill Rowland, Shirley Rowland, and RVHSF chair Jim Ward.
