Rogers wins District 5950 awards

District Conference honors 5950 clubs’ accomplishments during the 2012-13 Rotary year. What could be more fun than snagging two awards for the Rotary Club of Rogers?!

Congratulations for winning an Award of Excellence for Community Service, accepted by President Lenny Kirscht. This award acknowledged the entire club’s participation and Floyd Ingersoll’s leadership  in securing lighting for high school theater and music performances.

In the individual Service Above Self award category, Gaylene Olson was recognized for stepping forward to lead the Pancake Breakfast,  join the Rogers Rotary Foundation board following several years on the club’s board of directors, and working at and provide materials for club events since joining in 2007. Congratulations, Gaylene!

Another highlight of the District Conference was awarding
Presidential Citations to club presidents who fulfilled service project and strategic planning requirements* during their year. Congratulations to Lenny Kirscht for receiving a 2012-13 Presidential Citation!

Only 20 of District 5950’s 64 club presidents achieved this distinction.
We celebrate with our Area 4 neighbors, the Rotary Clubs of Maple Grove, Northwest Hennepin County, and Crystal-New Hope-Robbins-dale, who also earned the distinction. (*The criteria is on the district website.)
