We published a story in July recognizing our club and individual award recipients.
Past President Steve Buie was unable to attend the event, so this week, he was presented with the official letter and A.Z. Baker Award patch that was earned under his leadership during the 2021-2022 Rotary year.
The A.Z. Baker Award - The Akron Rotary Club
Akron was one of 29 clubs (out of 50) to receive this award.
The A. Z. Baker Service Awards were established in 1978 at the recommendation of then District Governor James P. Banks, and by action of the District Board of Trustees. This award honors our own "Mr. Rotary," A.Z. Baker, from the Rotary Club of Cleveland who served as Rotary International President in 1955-1956. His dedication and commitment to Rotary truly exemplified SERVICE ABOVE SELF and this award was designed to honor his memory by encouraging all clubs in the district to participate in each of the Avenues of Service which are the foundation of club activity.
