Rotary to Honor Unsung Heros in San Ramon Thursday

SAN RAMON, CA- The Rotary Club of San Ramon will honor four community members as recipients of its 2016 Unsung Hero Awards on March 24 at 12 p.m., at the Crow Canyon Country Club.

Each recipient will be presented with a $250 grant for the organization of their choice from the San Ramon Rotary Foundation.

This year’s heroes include:

• Dottie Kaiser, San Ramon Regional Medical Center
• Jerry Yahiro, Vietnam Veterans of Diablo Valley
• Marie Ivona, Tony LaRussa’s Animal Rescue Foundation
• Kathy Jones, Lindsay Wildlife Experience

Each year, the Rotary Club of San Ramon recognizes several volunteers, either San Ramon citizens or residents from other communities who serve the citizens of San Ramon, who have distinguished themselves in their service, and are otherwise not widely recognized for this commitment.

“The San Ramon Rotary Club is once again proud to recognize four deserving people who embody Rotary’s motto of ‘Service Above Self’,” said Hermann Welm, Awards Coordinator for the Club. “The amount of time and effort they give to our community is extraordinary, and makes San Ramon a better place to live!”

The criteria for selection are that the individual:

1. be an unpaid volunteer
2. have given many hours to their respective organization
3. have made positive contributions
4. are NOT generally known to the community at large
5. are NOT Rotarians or an immediate relative of a Rotarian.
