The award presented to the Painesville Rotary by the Salvation Army.
Today was a wonderful day for the Painesville Rotary Club. The Painesville Rotary was awarded the "OTHERS" Award at the Annual Salvation Army Christmas in July Luncheon.
The "OTHERS" award dates back to 1912 when the founder of the Salvation Army, General William Booth sent a Christmas telegram to his soldiers with one word on it "OTHERS". It is in this spirit that the Salvation Army continues to serve others and it is with the same heart that the Salvation Army presents the "OTHERS" award to those institutions or individuals who have been outstanding examples of devoted service to the community.
Major Brian Peabody, General Secretary, The Salvation Army NEOSA presented the award to the Painesville Rotary and Maureen Conway, President accepted it.

Robert E. Tishcer started the drama awards 49 years ago. He wanted to recognize those high school students in the plays for all of their hard work and dedication in performing and the stage crews for putting on the plays each year. This year his son Bryce and family donated $1,000, Painesville and Mentor Rotary also work together to donate to the 5 scholarships that were awarded. Thanks go to all of the Rotary members who attended the plays and voted for the actors and stage crew.
