The following individuals received a Hanover Lions Club Service Award in the year stated. Nominated by a community member, each recipient showed a commitment to helping the greater community. The Lions Club admires the compassion and kindness with which these students approached their activities.
Students were given a check for $1000. This was theirs to use for their personal improvement. Perhaps they wanted to learn a new hobby; perhaps they wished to use it for their continuing academic education. Personal improvement can be widely interpreted, and we trusted them to make good use of the money. We also gave another $1000 for them to decide on. They were allowed to use it to help fund their participation in a service project; or, as an alternative, they were encouraged to donate the money to a charity of their choice. (The Lions Club wrote the check and submitted it in their name.)
Congratulations to all the recipients!
