The Hamden Rotary Club recently honored a member of each athletic team at Hamden High School.  The honoree was selected by members of his/her team as the best representative of good sportsmanship among the group. This criteria is in line with the Rotary Club's motto of Service Above Self. 

The banquet and award ceremony have been celebrated for many years and organized by Reverend Owen Sanderson. 

Jean Cooper from Hamden High School helped to plan this year's event as well.
