The Rotary Club of New Market VA celebrated "Service Above Self" at its annual Christmas Party on December 11 by awarding four new Paul Harris Awards. Pictured are some of those in attendance. In the Tradition of Rotary International it was a GREAT night of fellowship and friendship celebrating the accomplishments of those who have worked so hard to give back to the local community and beyond.

On December 11th at its annual Christmas Banquet the Rotary Club of New Market awarded the Paul Harris Award for community service to Ms. Caroll Douglas (pictured left) and Ms. Carol Hughes (pictured right) both of New Market VA. The Paul Harris Fellowship Award is one of the highest honors Rotary can bestow upon a person. Recipients are Rotarians or community professionals, in recognition of their outstanding contributions, exemplifying the highest ideal in Rotary in placing “Service Above Self.” Both Ms. Douglas and Ms. Hughes have contributed greatly to the local community and have been instrumental the continued success of the New Market Rotary Club. Presenting both awards is Mr. “Skip” Constable who is the club’s Foundation Chair. Mr. Constable supports the efforts of Rotary International to achieve world understanding and peace through international humanitarian, educational, and cultural exchange programs.
