************************************************
ROTARIANS, DO YOU KNOW...
 
YOU are invited to make a nomination for the 2021-2022 Rotary
Club of Joliet Silver Eagle Award! This award honors seniors
from the community for volunteer service and leadership.
Please note nominees are not limited to those in social service
agencies, rather can be from area hospitals, schools, universities,
community organizations, private and public entities etc.
 
Please feel free to ask your colleagues and friends for nominations
as well, since you directly do not have to personally know the
individual, while the recommendation would then still come from
you. The main criteria is that the individual is 65-years-old or
older, has often gone "beyond the call of duty," and whose
contributions have positively impacted Joliet.
 
Please help spread the word and submit nominations by April 1st.
Additional Information About the Award
• Silver Eagle Award recipients will be lunch guests at a
to-be-determined Rotary Club of Joliet meeting. * Recipient
guest also included.  Club will pay for recipient and one guest
to attend the presentation lunch.
Nomination form is available via the Joliet Rotary eWheel or 
at www.jolietrotary.com. Feel free to include additional
attachments if necessary. If you have any questions,
you may reach Diane Cepela at 815-7226-6318 X 4109
or email at dcepela@fsd89.org.  Please put Silver Eagle Award
in subject line.
 
 
If you have any stories, memories or 
history notes for this space, please email to
Tim Brophy at:  tmb777@aol.com. 
Thank you!
