Last Thursday my Rotaract club and I saw the realization of months of hard work for the event, "Wheel of Gold" or "Rueda de Oro".
The event was a type of Academy Awards for the Rotary districts 4980 and 4970 here in Uruguay. It was an innovative idea that brought together Rotarians from both districts while raising funds for a good cause.
Prize categories ranged from best service project in the community to best project to raise funds. Clubs submitted the service projects they realized throughout the year, there was no limit to how many categories they could enter. When the awards were presented for each club the nominees were read off as well as descriptions of the projects they realized within the category. Thus, my rotarct club not only did a great job of bringing rotarians together but also of creating an awareness amongst Rotarians of Uruguay of what each club is accomplishing.
