Congratulation to PDG Chris Offer. He has received the Rotary Foundation Distinguished Service Award, which is an Internationally competitive award granted annually to a maximum of 50 Rotarians who have exhibited exceptional active service to the Rotary Foundation.

Chris Offer received a Rotary Foundation Distinguished Service Award, presented by PDG Bob Blacker at District 5040's recent Foundation Dinner.

Below is some information regarding the Award:

Four full years after receiving the Citation for Meritorious Service, a Rotarian becomes eligible for the Distinguished Service Award, the Foundation’s highestservice recognition. The exemplary service to the Foundation must extend beyond the district level and over an extended period. Any Rotarian may nominate eligible Rotarians for this award. An endorsement from another Rotarian is also required. Either the nominator or the endorser must be from outside the nominee’s district. Trustees may neither nominate nor endorse candidates for these awards. The deadline for nominations is 15 November.

Up to 50 recipients are approved by the Trustees each year. A cast-bronze plaque mounted on a walnut base is awarded to each honoree.

Chris was nominated by PDG Bob Blacker and the nomination was endorsed by PDG Joan Firkins District 5020. He received the Citation for Meritorious Service in 2003.

Our Rotary Club of Ladner is so proud of Chris, and how much he has done for Rotary. He is an amazing Rotarian and human being and we are so proud to have him in our club.

Thanks to Chris, and for all you do for Rotary!
