The Eagle Award, an award donated by the Sutcliffe family and recognises a non-board member of the club who has contributed throughout the year in a way that is deemed to be worthy of recognition.
The recipient of the Sutcliffe Family Eagle Award for 2024/2025 is Carmel Fitzpatrick. Carmel has only been a member since August 2023 but upon joining she immediately became involved and established connections within the club. In her first year of membership, she volunteered at the Rotary Book Shop with Rita each Wednesday and also works shifts for the EFNC Gate duty.
Carmel is often found on duty at the many Rotary BBQs and for the last 12 months has taken control of the club meeting attendance and liaised with the caterers for the bookings of meals – no mean feat – as at times this can be a very challenging job. Carmel recently participated in the Prep Pack Program distribution to the local Primary Schools, an experience which she thoroughly enjoyed.
Carmel, the club thank you for how you have embraced being a Rotarian, your contributions over the short period of your membership have been amazing and you are truly worthy of being recognised as the recipient of the Sutcliffe family award.
