Rotary of Great Falls Recognized As Top Achiever

The Rotary of Great Falls has been recently named as one of its top achievers for 2019-2020 by Rotary District 7610. The club was honored in several categories. It received plaudits for several youth projects, including sponsoring two teenagers for Rotary’s Leadership Institute; its Interact Club’s Habitat for the Humanity building project in Lynchburg; the new Rotaract Club (serving 18-30-year-olds) launch of its Flags for Heroes, the launch of Cooper Middle School’s 4-Way Test essay contest; and sponsorship and leadership of Wolf Trap’s First Time Campers weekend targeted at children from challenged backgrounds. According to Great Falls Connection, "The Club was also recognized for its community projects, which included an opioids forum and installation of a used-drugs drop-box in the Center’s CVS; quarterly meals served up at the Embry Rucker homeless shelter in Reston; participation in the local Farmers Market; and sponsorships of Great Falls Seniors program, the July 4th Fireworks, and the Grange Foundation." As per Great Falls Connection, "In other areas, Rotary praised the Club for its vocational efforts through its first-ever business reception, its Oktoberfest educational fundraiser, and its multifaceted pandemic assistance to both Cornerstones and area hospital staff. All of this activity produced a natural increase in membership, for which the Club was also recognized. Two members received special recognition: Connie Sawtell for her efforts on behalf of the Club and June Melloni Kelly for her involvement with the District’s Opioid Taskforce."
