This week was very special to our Club. We honoured Olga Ialovenko with a Paul Harris Award.
Olga joined Rotary in 2008 with the Rotary Club of Cherkosy, Ukraine. During her time with that club she has taken on many roles, at both the club and district level.
Olga came to Canada as a refugee because of the war in Ukraine in 2022, and transferred her membership to RC Kharkiv New Level.
She spearheaded the blanket project, which raised $88,200 to produce 2,693 blankets (more like all weather sleeping bags) to send to Ukraine to protect those with no heat during the winter. Our club members donated to that cause. Olga continues to find new ways to raise awareness and promote support for Ukraine.
She is a deserving recipient of Paul Harris recognition.
