In November, the Whitnall Park Rotary Club remembered our friend and a great Rotarian, Jim Helminski. Jim’s family was able to join us at the Rotary Circle located at the Boerner Botanical Gardens to dedicate the paver our Club purchased in memory of Jim. Jim was one of the instrumental Rotarians that back in 2014, began the project of building the Rotary Circle pathway at the Gardens.
During Jim’s time with the Whitnall Park Rotary Club, besides the numerous community service projects he worked on, he was President of the club twice, President of the Club’s Foundation, and a Paul Harris Fellow recipient 3 times. Jim was famous for portraying the important role of Santa each year at the Whitnall Park Rotary Craft Fair as well as driving the convertible in the 4th of July parades.
Jim was a blessing to all he met, and we were all better for knowing him!!!
