HARPERSFIELD — Members of the Hobart Rotary Club recently honored Heidi Pickett with the prestigious Mel Carpenter "Spirit of Service" award, presented annually to an individual who has demonstrated exemplary service to the local community.
Picket served the neighboring Stamford Rotary Club for 32 years and was its president for more than a decade. In making the presentation, Hobart Rotary Club treasurer Lisa Driscoll described Pickett as a great project manager and organizer.
She consistently demonstrated her love for the club and the community, serving with grace, according to Driscoll. She was the person who rallied her fellow Rotarians for fundraising chicken barbecues, the annual car show, and the beloved Scarecrow Festival.
"She supported the Hobart Rotary countless times," said Driscoll. As a matter of fact, she volunteered for the annual Sausage and Brew Festival in August and refused to leave her post for a break.
Her fellow Rotarians have described her as a tireless community servant and a dedicated advocate.
She has devoted countless hours to the Stamford Rotary Club before resigning earlier this year. She represented the club on the local business alliance.
You could find her handing out hard hats, vests and plastic garbage bags for the annual Adopt a Highway cleanup along mile hill.
