Dear Nominator of a Potential SASEE Award Recipient:

The Lake Oswego Rotary Club thanks you for taking the time to recognize an individual who demonstrates “Service Above Self” in support of education in our community. The ideal nominee demonstrates a commitment to education through projects, activities, and work that emphasize service above self and inspires us to be better people. All the nominees will be carefully considered by a select panel of judges who will identify the finalists and ultimately select those to whom SASEE awards will be given.

We are fortunate to have a number of highly qualified individuals who already are being nominated, and every nominee is clearly a winner. Nominations will close on January 10, 2019, and SASEE finalists will be announced no later than February 1, 2019. We will advise you as to the status of the finalists after they have been selected. The finalists and their guest in each category will be provided with a complimentary dinner at the SASEE Awards Banquet scheduled for February 27, 2019. From this select group of finalists, SASEE recipients will be announced at the awards banquet and provided with a financial award according to the following categories:

· Educators will be awarded $1,000 for their school or Service Above Self project,

· Support staff will be awarded $1,000 for their school or Service Above Self project

· Students will be awarded $500 for their school or for their Service Above Self Project, and

· Citizens will be granted $2,500 college scholarships in their names to then be awarded to students also demonstrating Service Above Self.

Whether or not your nominee is selected as a finalist or a SASEE Award recipient, we invite you to attend and support all the finalists at the February 27, 2019, SASEE Awards tribute dinner at the Tualatin Country Club. Tickets for the prestigious affair may be purchased on the Lake Oswego Rotary website at www.rotarysasee.org.

Our best to you,
