LANCASTER - The Lancaster Rotary Club named long-serving member John McGraw as the recipient of the 2017 Richard A. Benadum Rotarian of the Year.
McGraw previously served as president of the club and co-chaired the annual Christmas party for the students at Forest Rose School, which is one of the club's main events.
"I speak for all the members in our club that we are honored to be able to bestow this recognition to John for all of his hard work and dedication to the club," said Melissa Walker, Lancaster Rotary president in a press release. "John was selected because he lives our motto, 'Service Above Self,' and has touched so many lives during his time in Rotary."
There are certain criteria to be considered for the award, including maintaining high ethical standards, promoting Rotary, taking a leadership role and exceeding expectations of members on a regular basis.
Rotary clubs serve the local community and also help improve people's lives in other countries by combating disease, illiteracy, and clean drinking water challenges, among others.
The Lancaster Rotary is open to men and women who are business, professional or community leaders and want to help others through their experience.
The club meets at noon every Monday at the Lancaster County Club. For more information, go to www.lancasteroh-rotary.org or search Lancaster Ohio Rotary on Facebook.
