Four Way Test Award - It is often that Rotarians have the opportunity in their daily lives to ask
themselves, is it the truth, is it fair to all concerned, will it build good will and better friendships,
will it be beneficial to all concerned, that is the 4 WAY TEST of what we should think say and
do in our business and professional lives. There are people that we know that just seem to keep
themselves in check by living this test at work and play, you can see it in how they respect their
employees, friends, spouse and all others. Some of our past recipients were Brad Shepherd,
Johnny Johnston, Jeff Smith, Don McKinney, Phil Wright, Paul Eggeling, Maynard Bandy, Becky
Broughton, David Brinckerhoff, Harry Boardman, Jean Campana, Secily Wilson.

Anne Peach Service Above Self Award - In the 1995-96 Rotary year another outstanding business
and community leader sought out membership in this, then little club of barely 30 members; the
day she was inducted was a great blessing for the Rotary Club of Lake Buena Vista. She was a
mover and shaker executive at the Dr. P. Phillips Hospital, then M.D. Anderson, now Orlando
Health. Her talent was quickly recognized as she rocketed into greater roles and now she serves
tirelessly for her company where she wears so many leadership hats, as Chief Operating Officer
MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Vice President Nursing Orlando Health. There are numerous
boards and organizations in the community where she gives of her time and talent. In 2006,
another Rotary Club Lake Buena Vista tradition began with the presentation of this award. Some
past recipients are Phil Wright, Ray Maxwell, Sal Ferdico, Dawn Grigsby, Jean Campana, David
Brinckerhoff, Harry Boardman, and Dawn Hatch, Anne Peach.
