Dale called on Les Rosenbloom, chair of the Paul Harris Committee.  Les proceeded to introduce our newest Paul Harris fellow, Ernie Danforth.  Ernie has for many years dedicated his time and considerable skills to the Club. He served for many years as our Club Secretary, and is now in line to be our next President, and continues to serve on many committees, including Literacy, COGS chair, Suds for Service, the Spelling Bee, and more. Nancy Latour, a long-time friend and colleague, shared some highlights from Ernie's CV and long list of professional and community accomplishments, including those from his time as a Professor at Corning Community College, as well as with Rotary and the First Presbyterian Church of Corning. Ernie's family and colleagues were on hand to witness the surprise honor. Congratulations, Ernie on this well-deserved recognition! Video here.
