Rotary Club of Elizabeth honors EF seniors

The Rotary Club of Elizabeth Outstanding Community Service Award recognizes Elizabeth Forward High School graduating seniors who have demonstrated a strong commitment to volunteerism and community involvement throughout their high school years. Sponsored by the Elizabeth Rotary Club, the program encourages students to participate in meaningful service activities that positively impact their schools and local communities. The award highlights the importance of leadership, compassion and civic responsibility by honoring students involved in organizations such as Interact Club, National Honor Society, scouting, tutoring programs, food drives, church outreach and other volunteer efforts. Through this initiative, the Rotary Club promotes the value of service above self while supporting young individuals who strive to make a difference in the lives of others. Each award recipient receives a $1,000 cash prize as a part of their recognition. Shown, from left, are Elizabeth Rotary Secretary Chad Licht, award recipient Samantha Malek, Elizabeth Rotary Treasurer Bobbi Bauer, award recipients Maggie Douglass, Tyler Scott and Nathan Pozzuto, Elizabeth Rotary Co-President Eric L.
