Sue Bethel accepted the honor
on behalf of the 1st City Rotary. |
Chad Medel presented the 2001
Community Asset Builder Award to the First City Rotary remarking
that the First City Rotary sponsors many programs that benefit
youth including the Rotary Interact Club at Ketchikan High School
for community service and the Rotary International Youth Exchange
program. Every Fourth of July, First City Rotary conducts the
famous Rubber Duck Race with proceeds benefiting local groups.
This year some of the money was used to help build a playground
for the Ketchikan Head Start program. Another example of special
programs includes the time that members refurbished used musical
instruments to support music students who could not otherwise
afford them.
First City Rotary is recognized
for building the assets of community values youth, youth as resources,
service to others, high expectations, youth programs, achievement
motivation, responsibility, and sense of purpose.
