Springfield Southeast Rotary Club honored Dan Emrie on April 20 with its Lend-a-Hand Award.  This award is for service within the committees and activities of Springfield Southeast.  It's given whenever the Board of Directors feels there is a deserving recipient.

Emrie was honored for his work for 25 years (after retiring after 10 years as one of the original players for our club) as announcer, statistician, and photographer for the annual Rotary Basketball Tournaments to benefit Special Olympics of the Ozarks. That tournament ended in March after 35 years.

Emrie also serves at most of our weekly meetings as the official photographer and posts accounts and photos of the meetings on the club's Facebook page.

Past President Lori Barnes Miller presented the award to Emrie.

Lend A Hand Award

Southeast Rotary’s Lend a Hand Award was created in 2003 to honor and recognize those individuals who have given exemplary service through our club committees. The award is specifically designed to recognize the grassroots, day-to-day commitments of members during the current Rotary year. Every member of the club is eligible except members of the board of directors. Multiple awards may be given during the Rotary year. All club members are eligible to submit nominations to the Hands-On Committee for consideration.
