The Rotary Club of North Bay has honoured a half dozen students who give back.

The six were recognized for their volunteer work whether it be at school or in the community.

The chair of the Rotary Club Youth Committee Henry Drenth says like most years it’s an impressive group.

“The things that they do in our community, at their schools in helping others is amazing. It really represents rotary’s motto:  service is above self,” Drenth says.

One of the recipients is Janessa Trahan.

“I feel great about helping other people. It’s a nice thing to do. This experience will help me in the future too,” she says.

This the 20th year the Rotary Club has held this ceremony and each student receives $100 and a plaque will be put up at each school bearing each students name.
