In presenting the award, 2012-13 District Governor Kenny Harris called Elizabeth one of his Rotary heroes. “I am always amazed at the dedication to Rotary she has.  She works tirelessly for our district with the Grants program.  She will take the time out of her very busy schedule to work one-on-one with clubs to ensure the Grant process is viable and accurate.  She gives her time and talents to Show Me Rotary (PETS/SETS), and at Zone Institute (which trains Governors-Elect and Governors-Nominee) as well as being active at International Assembly.  Elizabeth truly lives our motto, Service Above Self.” 

Congratulations, Elizabeth!  We're proud of you!
