Each year, City of Lakes Rotary presents the John Fischer Rotary Hope Award and the Merle Else Heart of Rotary Award to deserving recipients at our annual club awards ceremony in November. Please take a moment today to nominate someone worthy.
Now, for those of you who are new (or anyone who tends to sleep through the awards meetings), I'd like to explain the difference between the awards:
- The John Fischer Rotary Hope Award is named after the founder of City of Lakes Rotary and is awarded annually to a person who is not a member of the City of Lakes Rotary Club who is very dedicated to the cause/mission that he/she represents, has made (and continues to make) a significant difference in the lives of many people and gives them hope for the future, whose efforts are under-recognized, and who is not all that well known in the Twin Cities area. The winner is selected by the Past Presidents Council from nominations submitted by City of Lakes Rotary Club members.
- The Merle Else Heart of Rotary Award is awarded to a member of the City of Lakes Rotary Club who is very dedicated to the cause/mission of Rotary, has made (and continues to make) a significant difference in the lives of many people and gives them hope for the future, and deserves recognition for his or her significant efforts on behalf of the City of Lakes Rotary Club, and on behalf of Rotary International. The winner is selected by prior Heart of Rotary winners from nominations submitted by City of Lakes Rotary Club members.
This year, we are accepting nominations online! Click the corresponding link below to complete the form by Wednesday, September 25, and nominate someone worthy for each award.
If you have any questions about the John Fisher Rotary Hope Award, please contact Brock Ray. If you have questions about the Merle Else Heart of Rotary Award, please contact last year's winner, John Vandermyde.
