Monday was the first day of Rotary Radio Week. During the course of the week, we will be highlighting different members of the Rotary Club of Dauphin.

Mayor Allan Dowhan has been a member of the Rotary Club of Dauphin for 25 years. He says he joined the club because the values of the club are in line with his own.

“It was the service they do to the community, and also expanding their boundaries into the world, with the youth world exchange, polio plus initiative to eradicate polio in the world,” said Dowhan. “All this is with my values, so I decided to join.”

Dowhan added that in the club’s 95 years in the community, they have donated over a million dollars to the community, as well as projects worldwide, like the construction of shelter boxes in Haiti, Japan, The Philippines, and Syria.

Locally they have contributed money to things like the bike trails at the Selo site, the Countryfest Community Cinema, the Rec Complex, the Vermillion walking bridge, and many more community projects.

Rotary Radio Week continues all week long on 730 CKDM, be sure to tune into the Al Morning Show, where he will have interviews with the Rotarians.
