Each year, the Rotary Club of Fairview presents the Integrity Award to a non-Rotarian. The person chosen for the award leads a life that shows purpose and expresses principles widely accepted in the community ; their life is consistent with the Rotary 4-Way test: Of the things we think say or do, is it the truth, is it fair to all concerned, will it build good will and better friendship and will it be beneficial to all concerned. The candidate is someone who would take a stand without concern for personal loss or reputation, not necessarily someone it the public eye but does contribute to the region. This year Rotary co-president Chris Laue (left) presented the Integrity Shield to Pastor Dave Brisbin of the Fairview Gospel Chapel (right).
