Before her term ended, former Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunrise President Ann Neizman (left) honored three Rotarians. Greg Stille received Rotary International’s Avenue of Service Citation for Individual Rotarians. He received this prestigious award for exemplary participation in Rotary’s four areas of service: club service, sharing his vocation, outstanding community service, and impacting new generations. Anne Biedel, M.D., received the club’s Quiet Rotarian Award. Biedel (right) found the time to assist with the majority of club projects while maintaining her full schedule as a highly respected family physician. A new member, Kim Treloar, was graced with this year’s Spirit Award for participating in many service projects with enthusiasm. She broadened members’ understanding of art by opening her studio doors to teach the art of glass design at Akimbo Studios.
