From the Morristown Rotary:

This summer the Morristown Rotary Club installed Donna Orr as its 101st president, and gave Paul Harris Fellow Awards to 11 recipients, including Town of Morristown
Administrator Jillian Barrick and Town Engineer Anthony DeVizio.

The Paul Harris award is given to a Rotarian or a member of the community that has made an outstanding contribution to the community.

“As we step forward into the 101st year of the Morristown Rotary Club, I am honored to
serve as your president,” Orr said during a ceremony at the Morristown Club at the end of June.

“It is our duty to continue and to increase our commitment to our community to provide support and assistance where needed. We are a club of amazing individuals, made better by our working together,” she said.

Outgoing Morristown Rotary President Steve Ellerman added:

“Being the President of a Rotary Club is an honor and a privilege. For me to have served as our 100th President and participate in our Centennial Celebration and construction of the Pavilion at Lidgerwood Park is something I will never forget.”
