CELEBRATE THOSE WHO INSPIRE US
Who is our community’s UNSUNG HERO? Each club in District 7930 should select one person it wishes to honor by October 1st. Our Club does not have a nominee yet. So, please send your suggestions to Michael Cognata, at mjcdoc4@aol.com. Persons to consider in Mike’s words would be “a local regular person who does things selflessly and who would probably be very shy to accept an award for doing so. This is how our DG Bob Wood envisions the recipient.” Mike will have more on this at our Cub meeting, but please do send him your suggestions expeditiously. All nominees will receive a Paul Harris Award on Thursday, November 8th at 6:00pm, as we celebrate their selfless service to others. You can read more about the awards ceremony in the flier below, or here.
