BETHEL — The past two weeks of Rotary meetings and socials have been devoted to recognition and board member “changeover.” Club President Jean Benedict recognized last year’s board members and their many contributions to our club and community.
Rotarian Ellie Andrews also presented Dave Murphy with Rotary International’s highest honor, a Paul Harris Fellow. Friend and fellow Rotarian Bruce Powell made candid and heartfelt comments on all of Dave’s contributions and accomplishments during his nearly forty-year tenure in the club.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
