EHRC Awards Three Paul Harris Recognitions
Posted by Sheryl O'Connor
On Wednesday 23, 2011, 87 EHRC members and their guests gathered at The Gallery Restaurant in Glastonbury to celebrate the achievements of members Dick McCarthy and Gil Wishart, and friend of the club and Founder and President of Goodwin College, Mark Scheinberg and recognize them as our 2011 Paul Harris Award recipients. Master of Ceremonies, Frank Collins, opened the gala evening with a history of Paul Harris and the award recognition. Bill Saunders, Bob Wood and Dan Larson ably presented an overview of the achievements of each recipient, respectively.
Bill Saunders characterized Dick McCarthy as exemplifying "Service Above Self" during his years in the EHRC, working to support many efforts quietly and unselfishly. Bob Wood reviewed Gil Wishart's career and dedication to his family, his church, EHRC and other organizations. Dan Larson reviewed a long list of Mark Scheinberg's many achievements and successes in developing Goodwin College to the excellent institution of learning it is today, as well as his long-time support for the community of East Hartford and the surrounding communities in many areas including education.
Our warmest congratulations to all three of our 2011 Paul Harris Recognition Award winners. We are very proud of you all.
