as President of the curling club. Don passed away in 2003 and his
memory lives on with this award.

teaching activities, leadership roles in the club or in teams
representing the club, and general volunteer activites and committment
to the club.

Individuals are nominated using a one-page
nomination letter that must be submitted by March 15th to the President
of the Kiwanis Club. Nominations may be made by any member in
good standing of the Land O' Lakes Curling Club or a member in good

Curling Club.
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.
