Daybreak Rotary Club honors our Fire Marshal with the Paul Harris Fellow Award

On the evening of Monday May 13, 2013 Forest Grove Fire & Rescue Fire Marshal David Nemeyer was honored by the Forest Grove Daybreak Rotary Club as one of five local people to receive the Paul Harris Fellow Award.  This award is given each year by the Rotary club to individuals that they feel best meet the clubs mission of service above self, and commitment to their community.  Though not a member of their club, the Daybreak Rotary choose Dave as one of this year's winners in honor of his work revolving around fire prevention and safety in Forest Grove.  Citing the department's efforts in social media, fire safety education for children and adults, and interaction with local and regional news media Dave was called to the stage and presented with a certificate, pin, and medal at the annual banquet of the club held at 1910 American Bistro on Main Street in downtown Forest Grove.  After the banquet Dave said "what an unbelievable honor to be called to that stage, with so many people in the audience who truly are involved with improving Forest Grove, and to have them honor me for what we do as a fire department.  Amazing!" 

On behalf of Forest Grove Fire & Rescue we wish to thank the Daybreak Rotary Club for bestowing this honor upon Dave, and especially for the work that they do in and around Forest Grove every day.  What a wonderful service club in our community!
