Rotary Club of the Emerald Coast Wins Club of the Year

Rotary Club of the Emerald Coast Wins Club of the Year

In its recent year end conference, Rotary District 6940 awarded the Rotary Club of the Emerald Coast five of its most distinguished awards including Club Of The Year. Additional awards qualifying the club for the highest honor included the Presidential Citation with Distinction, District Governor�s Gold Standard, Rotary International�s Significant Achievement Award, and the Zone 34 Public Image Award. Only one other club in the North Florida District of 53 clubs (Tallahassee) had attained all four awards and was eligible for the top spot.

�This is quite a surprise and honor� said Club President Dave Johnson, �especially to have earned this distinction in our first year as a newly chartered Rotary club�. �We have a small team but had an amazing year full of service to others�.

Highlights for the year include hosting a Rotary Youth Exchange Student from Brazil, events and support for the Miracle League and Sims Veterans, and our �Award Winning� Rotary Business 2 Business Expo which is actually being presented to Rotarians from all corners of the world at the Rotary International Conference in Sydney, Australia.
