Four Major Awards Given

Presidential Awards and the Bob Tschappat Award 

President Denny awarded three Presidential Awards for service to SHRC this year. These awards include a $100 contribution to the Paul Harris Foundation in the awardee's name.  Betsy Jansen, Talee Crowe, and Joe Hughes were given Presidential Awards for their major contributions this year.  

 

The Bob Tschappat award was given to PP Hugh Radke.  In May 1983 the Robert W. Tschappat Award was established by Smoky Hill Rotary Club in recognition of the outstanding support provided by University Hill Rotarian, Robert W. Tschappat, in helping to charter SHRC in January 1983. The award is given annually to the non-board member of the Club who has had the "greatest impact on the Club" during the year. This award, accompanied by a $200 donation to the Rotary Foundation in the recipient's name, is the most prestigious award presented by the SHRC President. The award also consists of a personal plaque of recognition, and a traveling award to be held for one year.  The award recipient is selected by the current Club President, the Immediate Past President, and the President-Elect. Tschappat Honoree Hugh Radke was out of town so we will celebrate his achievement at an upcoming meeting.
