MIP’s Tom Julius Receives Rotary Club Award
Elm City Rotarian Craig Stockwell presents the Award to MIP Chair Tom Julius
At their early-morning meeting on Thursday, April 9, the Keene Elm City Rotary Club awarded MIP’s Chair Tom Julius the Paul Harris Fellowship Recognition for his outstanding service to the community. Through MIP.
Craig Stockwell noted how, through MIP, Tom has formed deep relationships, played a significant leadership role in the housing campaign, and overall led with wisdom, strategy, deep commitment, and thoughtfulness. In addition to leading MIP, Tom, a retired teacher of both primary school and at Antioch University, is also active with the Monadnock United Way, Keene Unitarian Universalist Church, Monadnock Outdoors, and more.
Through diligent and stealthy coordination, Tom’s wife Barbara Bryce and MIP’s Angela Pape managed to coerce a roomful of Tom’s closest friends out of their beds early on Thursday morning and into the room as surprise witnesses to this much deserved award.
From Tom:
I am deeply touched and honored to be presented with the Paul Harris Fellow Award. Being surrounded by members of Elm City Rotary and friends from MIP is tangible evidence of how every human endeavor is a team effort, reinforcing the power of fellowship and community. The award presents me, and all of us, with a challenge, to keep on living up to the spirit of what Paul Harris started and to persist in making more good things happen.
