Rotarian and obvious poet laureate, David Allen scripted the following poem to recognize Peter Malone's Presidency, Rotary Club of Belleville as of July 1, 2023.
In the realm of service and leadership, we do find,
A man of distinction, with a heart so very kind
Peter Malone, our incoming Rotary President,
A soul devoted to making a positive precedent.
Beside him stands Suzanne, his loving wife,
A source of strength throughout his life.
Together they embark on a meaningful mission,
Guided by our Rotary Club's noble vision.
From the depths of the sea to the halls of might,
Peter worked on submarines, both day and night.
A testament to his dedication and skill,
A man of courage, who never knew still.
At PCM Global Solutions, he makes his mark,
Leading with wisdom, leaving no task in the dark.
His expertise, a beacon of hope,
Guiding the company's success, a worthy scope.
In the realm of Rotary, Peter's role transcends,
He organized a strategic refresh, where friendship mends.
With passion and commitment, he sets the stage
For a club united, a legacy to engage.
Trivia, a game that sparks his delight,
Though not really good at it, he enjoys the fight.
In knowledge and camaraderie, he finds his place,
Laughing and learning, always with a smiling face.
Scotch tasting, an indulgence he cherishes,
Savoring the flavours, his palate relishes.
A moment of leisure, a time to unwind,
In the company of friends, pure joy to find.
As past presidents explored Montreal and Toronto, both familiar lands
Lucky Peter journeyed to Melbourne, Australia with open hands.
Representing the Club with utmost pride,
Sharing Rotary's mission both far and wide
So let us celebrate incoming President Peter today,
A leader, a friend, guiding our Rotary Club the right way.
May his tenure be filled with triumph and glee,
As he works to leave a legacy for all of our community to see.
