Nominations Sought for Excellence in the Workplace
MERRIMACK – The Rotary Club of Merrimack seeks people who live
or work in Merrimack and have displayed outstanding performance in
their jobs. If you know such a person, the Merrimack Rotary would like
to hear from you, and be able to recognize your nominee at the annual
Excellence in the Workplace meeting. This is not a competition,
therefore all nominees who attend will be honored.
“One of the tenets of Rotary is to know that all occupations have value and
should be recognized as such,” said Chris Christensen , program chair.
“Have you ever said ‘I go to (this business) because
‘Sharon’ is always professional and takes care of everything I need’ or ‘I
really wasn’t sure how to solve this but ‘Harry’ understood
the problem and had a perfect solution,” Christensen continued. “In
the past, we have recognized store clerks and managers, bookkeepers,
landscapers, secretaries and nurses. It’s a long and varied list. Who
do you know? Somebody who works for you, or a co-worker? Maybe
it’s the guy who takes care of your car or fixes your refrigerator. If they do
a great job, they should be honored as part of Rotary’s ‘Excellence in the
Workplace.'”

The Rotary Club of Merrimack will recognize nominees at a breakfast event
on Thursday, April 21, 2016 at the John O’Leary Adult Community Center. The program and breakfast will start at 7:15 am and conclude at 8:30 am.

Please include your contact information and that of your nominee, if known. “Sometimes, all we start with is a store and a name on a badge. That’s OK.” said Christensen. Please tell us why your nominee
deserves public recognition. Deadline for nominations is March 23, 2016. The cost of the event is $30.00 which includes two wonderful hot buffet breakfasts catered by the Stocked Fridge. Additional guests are $15.00 each.
