We are excited to share that Prestonwood Rotary Club again hosted its Annual Fire-Rescue Appreciation Day at Cafe de France, a remarkable event that highlighted the invaluable contributions of our Dallas Fire-Rescue (DFR) officers.
The event was led by PRC President, Bill Persefield, and Margaret Silva, Vocational Director.
Margaret Silva began this year's celebration with a heartfelt tribute to three dedicated DFR officers: Lewis Zak, Joel Ralston, and Kevin Middleton. These officers consistently exemplify the Rotary spirit of “Service Above Self.” Their unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of our community inspires us all.
Margaret showcased Prestonwood as it actively serves communities, both domestically and internationally, demonstrating a commitment to “Service Above Self” and drawing a parallel between DFR and Rotarians.
Introductions of the honorees were made by PRC members: Vickie Campbell, Lee McFarland, and DGN Mike Callahan. The officers were recognized with a commemorative plaque, gift certificates, and a check as an acknowledgment of their exceptional service.
The honorees, their families, friends, special guests and numerous Fire-Rescue officials were warmly welcomed and treated to a delicious lunch.
Events like these remind us of the importance of celebrating our local heroes and the positive impact they have on our community. Let us continue to encourage one another and support those who work tirelessly to keep us safe.
