The Rotary Club of Sun Lakes (RCSL) and Club President Victoria Flatley honored Rotarians for their exceptional club and community service from July 1, 2023, to present day, i.e.:
• Rotarian of the Year Award to Leo Schlueter: Leo has served on RCSL Education and Membership Committees, has led new member fireside chat gatherings, and assisted with the CUSD/RCSL Teacher of the Month and Teacher of the Year Awards.
• Service Above Self Award to Ann Diamond: Ann has led and participated in RCSL community service projects and is a consistent and supportive assistant to club president and sergeant at arms for meeting set-ups, raffle awards, and more.
• John McCain Annual Good Guy/Gal Cup Award to Bob Phillips: Bob, along with David Ouradnik, has led the club’s annual golf tournament fundraiser and serves as RCSL’s board representative on the Sun Lakes Foundation 2000 Board. John McCain was a member of RCSL before he passed away. John served in the Air Force during World War II and was a POW in Germany. To RCSL, John became known as the “Good Guy” who always had a smile, told a good joke, and provided a positive outlook. As such, the Good Guy trophy was born and is presented each year to an RCSL member.
