The Rotary Club of Gibraltar held its annual Vocational Award Presentations and Speakers Party recently at the Royal Calpe Club.
The Rotarians offer these annual awards in recognition of people in our community worthy of special attention. The three awards presented on the evening covered the categories of, 'a young person', 'a civil or public servant', and 'an Elder'.
Hosting this year's event, Tony Nation, President, said " Thank you for giving up your time to come and talk to us. You have all been wonderfully interesting and we are pleased that as a Club we have been able to help some of the charities and organisations you support. A toast to the Speakers".
The Youth Award went to Sean Frendo for his bravery, courage and spirit in enduring his problems. Sean unfortunately Meningitis as a small baby.
The Civil Servant Award was presented to Melvyn Farrell. In both his roles as Clerk to the Gibraltar Parliament and as electoral Returning Officer he has conducted himself with great integrity and dignity, even in the most trying of circumstances.
The final presentation was the Elder Award. This year the award has had its name changed the Joe Gaggero Honoured Elder Award, it went to Mr. John Garro who has for years been dedicated to Gibraltar Society for Cancer Relief.
