The Southern Rensselaer County Rotary Club was honored for its work with the Circles of Mercy family aid organization at its annual gala held at Shaker Ridge Country Club on Wednesday.

The award was “in grateful appreciation of your dedicated service in assisting with Catherine McAuley’s mission and spirit of mercy at Circles of Mercy.”

In addition, our club was presented with a proclamation from the New York State Legislature, sponsored by State Senator Neil Breslin and Assemblyman John McDonald, for its public service, as well as a “Special Certificate of Congressional Recognition” sponsored by U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko.
