The award, presented annually by the Baltimore Rotary, Lancaster Ohio Rotary, The Rotary Club of Lancaster-Sherman, recognizes a local business that has been nominated by its peers in the community for demonstrating outstanding ethical practices in its work. This year’s winner was selected by a committee of members from all three clubs from more than a dozen nominations.
The award is given to a business that exemplifies Rotary International’s Four Way Test, asking: is it the truth, is it fair to all concerned, will it build good will and better friendships, and will it be beneficial to all concerned. The award is named for the late John T. Dye, a life-long member of the Rotary Club of Lancaster, who personified Rotary’s Four Way Test and served our local community tirelessly.
