Brunswick Coastal's John Dennen received the Service Above Self Award from Rotary International President Sakuji Tanaka at the Brunswick lunchtime club meeting on Monday, July 2. John was honored for his work over the past two decades to provide humanitarian relief to his native South Africa.  In accepting the award, John said that it really belonged to the entire Brunswick Coastal club, which has been with him every step of the way.  John and his club have raised almost $1 million to help out in pediatric AIDS care.
