Nominations Sought for Excellence in the Workplace
MERRIMACK - The Rotary Club of Merrimack seeks people who live or work in Merrimack and have displayed outstanding performance in their jobs. If you know such a person, the Merrimack Rotary would like to hear from you, and be able to recognize your nominee at the annual Excellence in the Workplace meeting. This is not a competition, therefore all nominees who attend will be honored.
"One of the tenets of Rotary is to know that all occupations have value and should be recognized as such," said Chris Christensen the program chair. "Have you ever said 'I go to (this business) because 'Sharon' is always professional and takes care of everything I need' or 'I really wasn't sure how to solve this but 'Harry' understood the problem and had a perfect solution," Christensen continued. "In the past, we have recognized store clerks and managers, bookkeepers, landscapers, secretaries and nurses. It's a long and varied list. Who do you know? Somebody who works for you, or a co-worker? Maybe it's the guy who takes care of your car or fixes your refrigerator. If they do great job, they should be honored as part of Rotary's 'Excellence in the Workplace.'"
The Rotary Club of Merrimack will recognize nominees at a breakfast event on Thursday, April 19, 2018 at the John O'Leary Adult Community Center. The program and breakfast will start at 7:15 amand conclude at 8:30 am. If a nominee cannot attend on that date, another date will be arranged.

Please tell us why your nominee deserves public recognition. Deadline for nominations is April 10, 2018. The cost of the event is $30.00 which includes two catered hot buffet breakfasts. Additional guests are $15.00 each.
