August 14, 2021 - What a Celebration it was!  CLUB OF THE YEAR - such an amazing accomplishment for our club and our community!  This award recognizes the best of the best! From Foundation Giving to Youth Programs, Service Projects to Social Media, Leadership and Club Participation – this award was for each of us that participated in any way last year to help those in our local community and around the world.  We all gave a little more of our time, compassion and money to help those around us over the last year and it was a truly remarkable experience to be recognized by our fellow Rotarians for those efforts!
