Each year the Rotary Club of San Ramon recognizes several volunteers, either San Ramon residents, or residents from other communities who serve the citizens of San Ramon, who have distinguished themselves in their service.
 
The criteria for selection are that the nominee:
 
(1) be unpaid volunteers;
(2) have given many hours to their respective organization;
(3) have made positive contributions;
(4) are NOT generally known to the community at large; and
(5) are NOT Rotarians or an immediate relative of a Rotarian.  
 
To put it simply, we are looking for extraordinary volunteers, not generally recognized, who serve the residents of San Ramon, even if their place of work, or residence, is somewhere else in the county.
The “Unsung Hero” Awards will be presented to the winners at the club’s luncheon meeting on April 27, 2017.  The organizations they represent will be presented with a $250.00 grant from the San Ramon Rotary Foundation at that meeting.
 
Last year’s Heroes were:
  • Dottie Kaiser, San Ramon Regional Medical Center
  • Jerry Yahiro, Vietnam Veterans of Diablo Valley
  • Kathy Jones, Lindsay Wildlife Experience
  • Marie Ivona, Tony LaRussa’s Animal Rescue Foundation
 
If your organization has such a "bright light" that you’d like to nominate as an Unsung Hero for 2017, please use the attached form and return it to me, by email, no later than March 3, 2017.  Our committee will then meet and review the nominations and make their selections.  We’ll be notifying the winners’ organizations, NOT the individuals, in early March so that you have sufficient time to notify your nominee and to schedule both him/her and your organization’s representative to attend the meeting on the April 27th.
 
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call Stacy Litteral at 925-336-0994.
