Lenoir Rotary Club Past - President Lee Chase awarded club member Bob Giduz the STAR Award for the month of May for his "service above self" in organizing the annual fundraiser called the Cycle to Serve bicycle challenge. Bob was pinned by STAR recipient Mary Kidder. The annual bike race is the club's biggest fundraiser of the year and was the brainchild of Giduz. Due to oustanding fundraising results, the club is able to participate in many community projects throughout the year.

Lenoir Rotary Club member Mary Kidder was recently named by Club President Lee Chase as the STAR Award recipient for the month of April. Mary serves on the Club Service Committee and is responsible for the weekly distribution of the club email and paper bulletins. This is a big job for a club with over 70 members. Mary is shown with her husband and club member Pete Kidder.
