Family Support
The Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise was most fortunate to have the full Macaulay family join in with the surprise PH presentation at the BBQ. Along with Ian and Judy Ann was daughter Laurie with her husband Brandon White and their children Sadie and Owen (from Kincardine) as well as daughter Krista with her husband Craig Thompson and their son Kris (from Simcoe). All were present for the group photo taken after the ceremony.

Judy Ann (along with her husband Ian) has lived an adult life committed to the service to others. Representative examples of their ‘service above self’ follows;
For 18+ years, they have been volunteers in the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program as coordinated by the Canadian Revenue Agency. For over 10 years, they have been the leaders in the local group as hosted by the Norfolk County Library. In an average year, they will coordinate the program, organize the clinics, schedule, and train the volunteer tax preparers. Typically, the local program will do as many as 800 free tax returns in a year; over 18 years this is a huge feat fin support of the needy.
They are both active in their church (St Paul’s) offering volunteer services such as committee membership, search groups, cooking for event meals, collecting the offerings etc. Both are also involved as volunteers with Church Out Serving, in the delivery of meals to those in need.
For years, Judy Ann and Ian coordinated and led the social curling league at the Curling Club.
Ian and Judy Ann provided volunteer audio video services to their St Andrews Church, to the Norfolk Council and to the Curling Club, filming, recording and providing commentary as needed.
Judy Ann also serves others with her love of music. She has been a member of the church choir for years, volunteered with Simcoe Little Theater, taking Junior members under her wing to provide coaching. She was a member of a band, which, in addition to playing gigs in small venues, also toured around local schools to entertain elementary students. Judy Ann was a piano/vocal teacher, but at Festival time, would provide coaching and accompaniment for NACL clients.
Individually, Judy Ann is most deserving of this award - with her husband, she is a selfless, model citizen that emulates every good value Rotary stands for.
