THE INSIDER - SPRING/SUMMER 2023

ROTARY CLUB RECOGNITION

For over nine decades, the Rotary Club of Tyler has celebrated students across Smith County with their Annual Young Citizens Awards Banquet. A tradition that began in 1930, a committee comprised of regional teachers and counselors annually select a young man and young woman from schools throughout Smith County to be recognized at the banquet. Student selections are based upon the principles of citizenship, courtesy, loyalty, honesty, service, dependability, sportsmanship, and leadership. Texas College's 2023 student honorees were Miss A’Nayzia Janay Jefferson and Mr. Isadore Stewart III. In addition to the Rotary Club's recognition of students, the organization likewise honors exemplary educators from each institution, awarding the "Teacher of the Year" accolade. Texas College's 2023 Teacher of the Year was Sohel H. Quazi, PhD. With their selection, students earned membership to the Rotary Young Citizens Club, as well as received a certificate in commemoration of the honor. In addition to the aforementioned, students also received the Rotary Club's “Little White Book,” an affectionate longstanding tradition for over the past nine decades. Within this book, every Rotary Young Citizens Club member since the inaugural banquet in 1930 is listed respectively by their school. Throughout the occasion's 93 - year history, this meaningful and enduring project has expanded to local Rotary Clubs across the globe.
