RC Ashland holds installation of officers

The Rotary Club of Ashland finished up a stellar year on Monday, June 25, with a Club Assembly, induction of new officers, and presentation of awards.

 Norma Meek was presented with the Community Vocational Award for 2011-2012.  Norma’s exemplary and unselfish dedication to community service made her an ideal candidate for this award.

 Rotarian April Perry was presented with the Vocational Service Award for her outstanding commitment to the principles of vocational service by starting a BancOn program for the unbanked.

 Rotarian Bernard O’Nan was awarded the Rotarian of the Year Award for his outstanding service and his commitment to foster Rotary ideals for which our club and Rotary is known. 

President Cheryl Spriggs, President-Elect Vincenzo Fressola, and Past President Sam Harvey were honored with the Paul Harris Memberships.

 Installation of new officers for the year 2012-2013 was conducted.  Continuation of great leadership is evidenced by the commitment of the newly inducted officers.

 During club assembly, newly installed President Vincenzo Fressola led the club through the achievements of the previous year, during which the club held its first major fund-raising event, which allowed the donation of over $13,000 to local charities and Polio Plus.
