Trey Siner Receives 2012 Distinguished Rotarian Award

Cabarrus Rotary honored Trey Siner on February 16, 2012 as the club’s Distinguished Rotarian. This honor is bestowed on a Rotarian who exemplifies “Service Above Self” in his/her daily life as a Rotarian and a member of his/her community.

Trey has chaired the club’s Seafood Festival committee for the last several years, and this past year, led the club to it’s best fundraising effort yet – $20,000. Trey’s company, Trey W. Siner Insurance and Investment Group, also celebrated 10 years in business this year.

Trey’s wife Michelle and two daughters surprised him at the meeting and he emotionally thanked them for their support and the club for the honor.

The Rotary District 7680 Distinguished Rotarian Awards were first awarded during the 1993-94 Rotary year at the District 7680 Conference. Each of the clubs in District 7680 has the opportunity to honor a member of their club for a distinguished tenure as a Rotarian.

Each club selects a Distinguished Rotarian from their membership on an annual basis, and submits that name with supporting documentation to the District Governor. The District Governor presents each recipient an appropriate plaque at the District Conference.

Grant cycles takes place in the spring (January 1 – March 1) each year.

The Rotary Club’s Donation Committee will review requests and submit recommendations to the Board for approval within six weeks of the application deadline. Please direct questions to: donations@cabarrusrotary.org.

Rotarians met at Charlotte Douglas airport Saturday night to welcome home veterans on the District’s final Flight of Honor. Rotarian Robin Scharding served on the committee and once again as a guardian on the trip. Veterans ranged in age from 87-97 and experiences a very emotional day. Hundreds of people turned out at the airport to welcome them home Saturday evening.

On September 10th from 11:30 to 12:45 at the Cabarrus County Fair

We get the opportunity to have a joint meeting at the Fair opening with our fellow Rotarians from the Southwest, Concord, Kannapolis and Afton Village clubs.

Bring your spouse, significant other, family, children and most definitely a friend.  Don’t keep Rotary to yourself; this is an opportunity to encourage a friend, client or another to experience the awesomeness of Rotary.

Also, bring canned food to help our community food bank.  Cooperative Christian Ministry (CCM), is a great organization that helps feed many people in our community.  Over the past 12 months CCM assisted over 12,500 households (37,305 individuals).  CCM needs our help to stock the shelves.  A can or two will do, but as Rotarians we do more than get by.  Let’s set the bar high.

We get to fellowship with our fellow Rotarians, show our family and friends a glimpse of Rotary and help stock the food shelves at CCM.  After the meeting we can all get our fill of cotton candy, ride the rides and enjoy the Cabarrus County Fair.
