Recognizing Community Leaders

Our community is better as a result of individuals and groups that make meaningful contributions to South Burlington through their job and/ or their volunteerism. Our club is committed to taking the time to recognize these leaders for the work they do to make life better for all of us.

Frederick H. Tuttle Memorial Award

The South Burlington Rotary established an award in Mr. Tuttle’s honor to be presented annually to an individual who either lived or worked in South Burlington. The successful recipient is selected for demonstrating the personal characteristics and commitment to vocation and community for which Mr. Tuttle was known and respected.

The award recipient has his/her name inscribed upon a plaque in City Hall commemorating all the recipients of the award. In addition, a $250 contribution is made by Rotary to a charity of the recipient’s choice. More about Mr. Tuttle here.

Police Recognition Dinner

Every year the South Burlington Rotary Club sponsors an awards banquet for the South Burlington Police Department with cooperation from several community organizations and corporations. At the event, the chief presents several awards to commend the service of his staff over the calendar year.

Fire and Rescue

Like the Police Recognition Dinner, the club supports our fire and rescue squads through generous donations for their annual banquet.
