Quiet Rotarian Award

The Quiet Rotarian Award recognizes our Club Rotarians who exemplify service above self.  It is an annual award and has been presented to Dr. John Millin, John and Dana Metzke and Judge Roberta Coates. 

Last week, Jeanie Martinez was recognized by DG Bryan Cooke as this year’s Quiet Rotarian for the Cheyenne Rotary Club.  Jeanie has been involved in numerous Club programs, projects and committees serving others without any expectation of recognition.  Her quiet dedication to the Club inspires others to do more.  She is the first to roll up her sleeves and the last to quit.  Several years ago, when a position came open on the Board of Directors, she was asked to join the Board.  She declined, stating she was a worker bee, not a Director.  Fortunately for the Club, the next time a position came open the Board was able to talk her into it.  Jeanie Martinez now serves as the Director for Public Relations.  Jeanie has chaired Student of the Month Committee, chaired the Peaches Committee and served as co-editarian of the Cog.  In addition to her service to the Club, she has hosted GSE team members in her home, served on the Young RYLA committee, and been involved with the youth exchange students.  She has also supported all of our Clubs many projects like the Cranium Cup, Wine Tasting, and Moonlight Bike Ride. Jeanie is both a Paul Harris and Auburn Dowdy Fellow supporting the Rotary Foundation and our Local Foundation.  The Club gave a standing ovation as a surprised Jeanie accepted the award.
