Several members of the Union County Rotary Club recently attended the annual District Conference this year in Athens Georgia.

Joe Satterfield was presented with the Lee Arrendale award for Vocational Excellence. The Lee Arrendale award for Vocational Excellence was implemented by Rotary International District 6910 during the Rotary year 1990-1991 in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Habersham County as part of the District's ongoing efforts in its Vocational Service Program.

Mr. Arrendale was a great leader in his vocation and in his community. This award, in memory of Mr. Arrendale, seeks:

* To recognize the importance of service of the individual to society through excellence in one's vocation;

* To promote high ethical standards in the community by recognizing those individuals who most highly exhibit Rotary International's motto of "Service Above Self;"

* To inspire vocational leadership and to recognize and reward achievers in the communities of District 6910; and

* To set an example to others, particularly youth, of the need to pursue and strive for VOCATIONAL EXCELLENCE to the benefit of our fellow man, our vocations, and the community in which we live.

The Union County Rotary Club would like to congratulate Joe Satterfield on this great award and his service to the community.

The Rotary Club of Union County has special guest speakers every week with a wide variety of interesting topics covering local, state, national, and international subjects.

The Rotary Club of Union County meets every Thursday at Cobb's Mill Restaurant in Blairsville.
