SALUTE TO BEN CRAIG

Posted by Melynn Sight on May 24, 2012

May 14, 2012 Declared
Ben Craig Day in Overland Park, Kansas

Ben Craig provided a once in a lifetime Rotary program to celebrate his 48 years perfect attendance in Rotary, his work in Overland Park and in our Club.

Surrounded by family, community and Rotary friends, Ben was gracious and humble as Jim Hix announced that going forward the OP Rotary Distinguished Service Award will be designated the Ben Craig Distinguished Service Award.

Mary Birch, Dick Bond and Greg Musil all gave toasts (and roasts). Mayor Gerlach declared May 14, 2012 "Ben Craig Day" in Overland Park. Rotary Asst. District Governor Moe Cougher awarded Ben an additional Paul Harris Fellowship on behalf of Rotary International, along with many other accolades and toasts from fellow Rotarians and special guests. This special event was co-hosted by Club President Frank Caro and Foundation President Clayton Smith.

Kudos to the planning team including Kate Allen, Jim Hix, Greg Musil, Stan Meyer, Tracey Osborne, Melynn Sight and many other club members.
