Members of the Rotary
Club of Truro helped long time Rotarian Lorne MacDougall celebrate his
94th Birthday at their regular meeting on January 9th. He blew out the
candles on his cake and expressed thanks to the club members for
recognizing his birthday.
Born on January 12, 1918, Lorne joined the Rotary Club as a young lawyer
April 2, 1945. He was president of the Rotary Club of Truro in 1950-51
when he hosted a visit of RI president, Arthur Lagueux, the first on
only two visits by RI presidents to Truro.
After almost 67 years as a Rotarian, Lorne still attends nearly every
regular meeting of the club and is a great supporter of all
Club initiatives.
The 1947 photo of the members of the Rotary Club of Truro shows Lorne
