2009 "Service Above Self" Awards

       

Brian Schill presents "Service Above Self" awards to Bethel Park senior Casey Hefferin & USC senior Dan Colussy

Each year our club presents the “Service Above Self” award to one Upper St. Clair High School senior and one Bethel Park High School senior who most exemplify the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self.”  This award recognizes those who have displayed exemplary humanitarian service with a focus on active involvement in helping others.  It is based primarily on School, Community, National and International service activities.  

     During awards ceremonies at their respective high schools, Brian Schill presented a check for $500 and a plaque to Dan Colussy from Upper St Clair and Casey Hefferin from Bethel Park.  Congrats Dan and Casey!!
