Rotarian of the Year Award:  Carol Starling  is an example of going Above and Beyond the call of being a “Service Above them wherever they needed to go. Especially the District Assembly which was very difficult.  Carol it is appreciated more than you now. It’s kind of like Rotary Attendance X2.  She also has been assisting another club in starting their own Interact Group.   Above all of this, she has put forth huge amounts of effort during the Christmas season when arranging volunteers and shopping for Christmas for youth.  I think I counted at least 6 shopping carts full of items that have to be separated for payment and separately be presented to the families.  All in the name of “ROTARY”.  For this the Award for Rotarian of the Year goes to Carol Starling.   Self “ Rotarian.  She has promoting and encouraging Rotary among our Younger Generations.  Not only in starting our Interact Club but she has attended all of the meetings and helping them with their own service projects and budgets and transported.
