John Greene joins long list of Grace Ridge residents honored by Morganton Rotary Club
The Morganton Rotary Club has announced the winner of its 67th Man of the Year award — John D. Greene — a local family man who also happens to be a Grace Ridge resident.
Each year the Morganton Rotary Club honors one man who has contributed significantly to the betterment of the local community. It is a special honor that transcends politics and personalities, and it is reserved only for those whose leadership and service extend far beyond the reach of the average citizen, exemplifying the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self.”
