The Jeffersons Rotary Club is receiving nominations for induction into the 2012 Ashe County Sports Hall of Fame through February 1, 2012. This year’s Ceremony will be the Fifth Annual Induction into the Ashe County Sports Hall of Fame which was initiated in 2008. While the Sports Hall of Fame seeks to recognize and honor sports men and women in individual and team sports, the Committee will seek to include representatives from not only the traditional ball sports of basketball, football, golf, but also hunting, game fishing, racing, and many others.

The annual induction ceremony is scheduled for the last weekend in April 2012 and is planned to be held at Ashe County High School. Specific dates and details for the Induction Ceremony, dinner, and Keynote Speaker will be forthcoming.

Comprised of a Committee of Rotarians and local community members, the Committee seeks to recognize and perpetuate the noteworthy sportsman traditions of Ashe County by memorializing individuals and teams who have made extraordinary contributions to sports traditions in Ashe County.

Forms may be mailed to: Ashe County Sports Hall of Fame, PO Box 1045, Jefferson, NC 28640. Deadline for submission of nominating forms is February 1, 2011.

Meeting every Thursday at noon at Jefferson Landing, the Jeffersons Rotary Club is a part of Rotary International, which is the largest and oldest service organization in the world.
