Rotary club honours Red Deer’s Citizen, Young Citizen of the Year
A pair of outstanding Red Deerians was honoured Friday night as the Rotary Club of Red Deer’s Citizens of the Year.
Gloria Beck, Owner & Operator of Parkland Nurseries and Garden Centre was named Rotary Citizen of the Year.
Beck says she’s finally getting some time now to reflect on her 30 years serving with charitable organizations and volunteering.
“I was the first in many areas to be the first president or first person on a board that was a woman. I didn’t realize at the time that I was breaking through new barriers, but I did, and I reflect now and I see that I did it quite a few times,” she says.
