MLK Award Winners

 
On January 30 Rotary Club of Cedar Rapids was privileged to sponsor the Martin Luther King, Jr. “Service Above Self Award” luncheon.  This program focused attention on outstanding students within the community who best exemplify the values of Rotary and the teachings of Martin Luther King, Jr.  Each student was asked to name a charity of their choice and the club contributed $100 to each charity.   Eight student honorees were recognized this year.
