Rotary Announces This Year's Woodchuck Award Winner!

Dan LeBlanc won this year's Bob McDonald Woodchuck Award.

The Merrimack Valley Rotary honers one of its members with this award each year. The award goes to the member who had the tallest tale to tell during the year. The award is given out at the meeting closest to Ground Hog Day.

Dan won the award this year because of his stories of going into the woods every morning looking for a deer. But never coming back with any evidence to prove it! Congratulations to Dan! Shown is Dan (left) and Bob! Ask Bob how the award got started...he has a tale to tell.
