Fire and Police Awards
Brad Pierce and Dave Williams.
Dave Williams noticed that a fire and
police award he had initiated several
years ago had been deleted.
The award is for sworn officers in
the police department and fire
department who perform their job
in an exemplary manner over and
above their regular job requirements.
The awards committee in each
department will actually make
the selection and present the person to
Rotary for the award.
He presented the award to the Aurora
Rotary Board. The award
consists of a bronze eagle the awardee
gets to keep, their name engraved on a
permanent plaque kept by the
departments and a $100 gift certificate
to The Outback.
Kristin Kleinholtz, a club member and
manager of The Outback, is contributing
the gift certificates.

15 people to Iran in October of this year.

and activity he saw, mainly lots of
construction.
