Community Awards
|
The Richland Sertoma Club offers several major community awards each year. Primary among those is the Service to Mankind award, which is given to a member of the greater Columbia community who has donated unselfishly of his or her time and effort to improve the quality of life for those in need. This award goes to a non-Sertoman whose community work is on a volunteer basis.
