Honoring Excellence: A Heartfelt Thank You to  Our Award Winners!
What an incredible night! Last evening, our Rotary Club came together with 49 people to celebrate a phenomenal year of service, fellowship, and impact. While every single member contributed to our success over the past year, last night we had the distinct privilege of honoring four outstanding individuals who went above and beyond the call of duty.

   Rookie of the Year (ROTY) – Mediline Tador
Joining a new organization can be daunting, but Mediline hit the ground running and never looked back. Bringing infectious energy, fresh ideas, and a deep passion for Service Above Self, Mediline has already made an unforgettable mark on our club. We cannot wait to see how she continues to grow and lead in the years to come. Thank you, Mediline!

   Harris/Griffin Award – Robbie Bates
The Harris/Griffin Award represents the very heart of Rotary—steadfast dedication, integrity, and a quiet commitment to making our community a better place. Robbie perfectly embodies these values. Whether leading a financial project behind the scenes or stepping up whenever a hand is needed, Robbie’s dependable leadership is a gift to us all. Thank you, Robbie!

    Hall of Fame Inductee – Dean Clark
Induction into the Rotary Hall of Fame is reserved for those whose long-term commitment has shaped the very fabric of our club. Dean’s years of tireless service, mentorship to new members, and unwavering dedication to local causes have left a lasting legacy. This honor is richly deserved. Thank you for your lifetime of service, Dean!

   Rotarian of the Year (ROTY) – Bill Griffin
The big award of the night! Bill has been an absolute powerhouse over the past year. From spearheading major initiatives to ensuring our club operations ran seamlessly, Bill’s leadership has inspired everyone around him. He truly exemplifies what it means to be a Rotarian, putting the needs of our club and community ahead of all else. Thank you and congratulations, Bill!
