Annual First Responders Awards Luncheon and Fundraiser

For over 30 years the Rotary Club of Fort Worth South has honored the city’s outstanding police officers and fire fighters with a plaque and cash award at an annual recognition luncheon in honor of Vince Genovese, a vibrant member of our Club and the Community. The Fort Worth Police Chief and Fire Chief make these presentations. To hear them tell of the bravery of these men and women is truly inspiring. This year we are expanding the event to include First Responders of all types. To register: http://tinyurl.com/RotaryFirstResponders
