The club annually recognizes members and community personnel that personify each of our award's basic community service tenet. The following awards are annually awarded by the club.

RECOGNITION ACTIVITIES

Fire Safety Week

Firefighter and Emergency Medical Technicians Award – The Firefighter Robert O’Toole Award Awards honoring Firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians were established after a tragic highway accident in 1998 resulting in the death of firefighter Robert O’Toole. These awards are presented during Fire Safety Week in October of each year.

In early November, at a regular Club meeting, a number of outstanding youngsters from the local area are recognized for their accomplishments during Youth Appreciation Week.  The honorees’ parents, along with a school representative, are invited to participate in the program. Youth Appreciation Week offers the club the opportunity to recognize young people active in community service.

Respect for Law Award – The Officer John Kalaman Award

Each year during Respect for Law Week, our Club honors a local law enforcement officer who has exemplified the contributions made by law enforcement officers toward the betterment of youth.  A program held during a regular Club meeting in early May includes an award presentation to the officer and a proclamation from local government authorities related to Respect for Law Week. In 1998, a highway accident resulted in the deaths of Centerville Policeman John Kalaman.  The Club’s Respect for Law Award was renamed in Officer Kalaman’s memory.
