Don't miss the Changing of the Guard at our regular meeting on June 27th.

This year the club will celebrate our Changing of the Guard Party on Monday June 27th, the last Monday of June. Since 2009 - 2010, the Club has acknowledged individual club members each year at the Changing of the Guard for outstanding Club, Community, International and Vocational Service and in 2014, those awards were renamed for past presidents who represented those avenues of service in our daily lives.
Those awards currently include:
the Rex Perry Club Service Award,
the Rudolph Community Award,
the Goodnight International Service Award and,
the Wemmer Vocational Service Award.
This year, it is appropriate that the club add a Youth Service category and has decided to name the award the Hulsken Youth Services Award in honor of former Lima Rotarian Peter Hulsken. Hulsken was named an honorary charter member and served as Santa for the Children’s Christmas Party for 25 years. Hulsken also set up a trust in his estate that the Rotary Foundation currently manages – The Hulsken Fund. It pays a major portion of the Children’s Christmas Party each December.
These past few years, club members have nominated fellow club members for the awards and the Board of Directors has selected the winner in each category. Please send your nominations to Club Secretary Rita Brown (ritabrown@woh.rr.com) by Wednesday June 10, 2016. The Board will vote on your nominations and select a winner in each category at the Board Meeting on Tuesday June 14, 2016.
