CLUB AWARDS

The Almaden Valley Rotary Club traditionally each year gives out several awards to recognize individuals for their hard work and dedication. They are:
  • Harris Pellish Award - This award is given to the person who has contributed the most toward fellowship throughout the year
  • Reese Griswold Award - This award (voted on by the Past Presidents) is given to someone who has consistently contributed to Rotary over the years
  • Rotarian of the Year - This award goes to the person who has truly given of himself throughout the Rotary year
  • Service Above Self Awards - These awards go to individuals who have devoted a great deal of time in a specific Avenue of Service
