Ian's actions and involvement in the local community and internationally furthered Rotary's mission in building world understanding, goodwill and peace. It is with Rotarians like Ian who demonstrated "Service Above Self" that helps our organization do good in the world. Beth and I will always be blessed to have had the opportunity to experience the culture and beauty of North East England through both Ian and Chris and the Rotary Friendship Exchange. They were so kind to have opened their hearts and home to us as friends. That is whats so special about the family of Rotary. We so enjoyed seeing their love for the Barnard Castle community as they proudly showed us the wonderful sites. It was special to experience the love that they have for gardening and landscape. Our thoughts and prayers will continue with Chris and the family, Glen and Beth Vanderford
