鈥淲ith youth running the show, providing entertainment, as well as being showcased for the wonderful things they are contributing to our community, it will be an inspiring night for us all,鈥� said Jeff Morfitt, from Rotary Club of 91原创 Sunrise.

With 鈥渘umerous鈥� nominations on the list, the panel of judges had a hard time choosing winners, admitted Lilianne Fuller, public relations director at Rotary Club of 91原创 Central.

But in the end, a winner in each category had to be chosen.

鈥淭hese rewards are in recognition of some students who exemplify Rotary values and our commitment to service,鈥� said Fuller.

Describing the award ceremony as 鈥渁 lot like Juno Awards,鈥� Fuller said, 鈥渋t will be a little bit splashy and very exciting.鈥�

The ceremony is set to take place on Thursday, May 5, at the Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort 91原创. The event is open to the public.

Doors open at 6:45 p.m., with the program starting at 7 p.m. Entry tickets are not required, but Fuller said that cash donations at the door would be appreciated.
