2008-09 Recipient of the Don Brown Memorial Award ($300.)

It is with pleasure that the Kiwanis Club announced that this year's recipient is Zach Fradette, a grade 11 student at Quinte Secondary School in Belleville. Zach has been curling at our club for the past two seasons and also curls on his school team. Zach has been a great help this year in working on many of the renovations in the kitchen, including lowering the counter, helping to tile the floor and installing new cupboard doors. He has also helped out with the painting of the front entrance as well as installing new light fixtures in the viewing area. He never hesitates to assist whenever asked.

The attached photo shows Al McNeil, President of the Kiwanis presenting the award to Zach, along with Jim Carmichael, President of the curling club on the right and David Brant, Zach's stepfather on the far left.

Congratulations Zach and thanks to the Kiwanis Club for their generosity in recognizing Zach for his accomplishments and honouring Donald Brown.
