Midland Morning Rotary Club Recognizes Bartos for
Vocational Service
MIDLAND, MICHIGAN -- Each year, the Midland Morning Rotary Club recognizes a
community member who has given time and resources to the community through their
vocation. The 2008 Vocational Service Award was presented to John Bartos.
Bartos has long been a champion in forging strong business and education
partnerships. As a lifelong resident of the Midland community, he strongly
believes in business leaders giving back to the community in the form of
experiential education to our youth. He practiced this philosophy throughout his
career at Three Rivers Corporation. Through his involvement with Associated
Builders and Contractors, he has seen to it that training programs are available
for area youth, and continues to advocate opportunities that will enhance the
quality of life for our future workforce.
“John understands the importance of business and education partnerships, and
actively fosters these initiatives in our community,” said Rotarian Bob Lofiego,
human resources manager with Three Rivers Corporation.
Bartos continues to serve the community as a volunteer leader in several
organizations including MITECH+, Big Brothers, Boy Scouts of America, Blue Water
Angels, MidMichigan Innovation Center, Junior Achievement, Juvenile Care Center,
and many more.
“We are pleased to recognize John’s contributions. Through his leadership and
example, he has inspired many in our community to get involved and realize their
full potential,” shared Ann Fillmore, president of the Midland Morning Rotary
Club.
Rotary International is an organization of business and professional leaders
united worldwide, who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical
standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.
