Invoices for January - June 2014 dues were sent in mid-December. Please check your email for a copy or phone the office for another to be sent. Please submit prompt payment as we have paid Rotary International dues for you.
The Vocational Excellence Awards are presented annually by Rotarians to those in our community nominated for their vocational excellence, their high ethical standards and their service to our community.
This photo is of the 2013 recipients and the nominators. On February 5, we will continue the tradition of recognizing the dedicated employees who have earned recognition for their contributions.
Due to time constraints at the meeting on Wednesday, each presentor will have a limited time to make their oral presentation but we will publish the written nominations in full for you to read in the next issue of the RotaryGrams.
Ever wish YOU had the opportunity to ring the opening bell at the meeting?
For a donation of $25 to the Beaumont Rotary Foundation, you will be allowed to do just that. You will be called up to ring the bell to start the meeting.
When he rings the bell to conclude the meeting, President Chad Blanchard will match your donation with another $25 donation to the Beaumont Rotary Foundation!
