As this year’s Rotary President Holger Knaack has stated, “We believe that our acts of service, big and small, create opportunities for people who need our help. We also know that every act of service will inspire and change us… Everything we do opens another opportunity for someone, somewhere.”

During this pandemic, every act of service has inspired and changed us. It has made us more appreciative of family, friends, work, activities, and the service of others. We cannot thank everyone who has been an everyday hero during these challenging days but the club members were asked to recommend a group or an individual.

It is with gratitude that we recognize individuals or groups as Everyday Heroes. In their honor, a donation will be given to Polio Plus Fund /  Rotary Foundation. Twenty-five children will be vaccinated against polio. Rotary has partnered with other organizations to rid the world of polio. There are now just 2 out of 125 countries that still have polio.

THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR EVERYDAY HEROES!
