Both Hennessy and President Dan Mihelich thanked the members for their financial support.
   
“Without these donations, we would not be able to help the many people who have come to rely on our support,” Hennessy said.
    
“It is great to see so many of our members stepping up to meet this important obligation,” Mihelich said.
    
The Paul Harris Fellow + member each received a pin with sapphire.
