These scholarships are given annually to recognize the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self.”

Other officers inducted were President-Elect for 2016 Robert Mocek, Secretary John Kozlowski, Treasurer Thomas Manno, and Finance Director Debbie Mascitti. At the dinner event, the past year’s charitable donations, all a result of proceeds from the club’s annual August mini triathlon, were listed. Given special mention this year was the club’s 25th anniversary of working with the Woodridge Park District on scholarships to help those in need participate in park district activities.
