Sussex Rotary Is Growing!

On February 21, 2011, the Sussex Rotary Club had the pleasure of inducting three new Rotarians- Jason Sturgeon, Stewart Duncan, and Paul MacIntosh. District Governor John Carkner visited the Club and assisted with the induction...


Jason Sturgeon - TechXperts. Jason lives in Norton and has been around Sussex all his life with a few stints in other areas in the country. He has already been in to give us the presentation of himself and his business, so he kept his speech short. He is very excited to join Rotary, and as a successful entrepreneur and business owner in Sussex, he chose Rotary as a way to give back to the community.

Stewart Duncan - Stewart is from Portage Vale (Penobsquis area) and has been coming to Sussex for his whole life. Stewart was working at Moffett Farms when several peopleSussex Rotary Is Growing! kept telling him he should start his own business, so he did. Connie and Stewart have been in business operating Two Boys Lawn Care & Maintenance for about two years (and have already won some prestigious awards for their work). They offer several services at no cost for groups and individuals in need to give back to the community. They sit on the chamber, and he loves all the contacts and opportunities to meet new people from the area. Both Connie and Stewart were in attendance today, and as Stewart said: “Stewie is having his family day holiday today even if the provincial government doesn’t recognize it.

Paul MacIntosh – Paul has also been to several of our meetings as well as the Club in a Club. Paul has been living in Sussex for close to two years but has been working in Moncton for a majority of that time. He recently took a position as the General Manager of the Kings County Record and is finally starting to feel like he belongs in Sussex. Paul is also looking for Rotary to help him get involved in the community. Paul has a background in the publishing/media business and was working at a paper in Moncton but is very glad to be working closer to home.

After the inductions, the members introduced themselves to each of the newest members. Pictured with the new members are Rotarians Bruce Northrup- MLA, Bob Black, & Andrew Palmer. Sitting at the table is Stewart Duncan’s wife, Connie.
