The Rotary club of Alliston grieves the loss of prominent long time Rotary Member Ed Zelinski. Colleen Kotnisz has written a beautiful tribute to Ed.
Ed was a dedicated member of the Rotary Club of Alliston for 31 years. He served as the Treasurer of our Club account, which looked after our dues and the clubs operations for approximately 20 years. Ed was a vital member if our Board of Directors for many of those years.
Most Rotarians will remember Ed being stationed by the entrance door of Rotary Hall at the Gibson Centre. He rarely missed a meeting and would register attendance, distribute name badges and welcome guests.
For many years Ed served on the Community Service Committee, which manages local events like the Potato Festival and Christmas Parades, as well as the 12th Night Christmas Tree Bonfire, as well as granting donations to charities and other community organizations.
We will forever be grateful for his many contributions to the club and community.
