Narragansett Chapter Major Awards, Leader and Stewardship Award Winners 2015
John Stevens receives the Appie of the Year from Maria.
The Appie of the Year Award is presented annually to that person who, in an outstanding manner, exemplifies the mission of the Appalachian Mountain Club. The recipient of this award receives an individual engraved plaque as a permanent memento and is also presented with a plaque with their name engraved, along with the names of the previous Appies. This plaque is retained for one year before it is passed on to the next Appie of the Year. The recipient of this years award is Jonh Stevens.

Dav Cranmer receives the John Clark award from our Chair Bob Tessitore.
The John Clark Service Award is the Chapter's second highest honor. This award is given to the "unsung hero" of our chapter - someone who quietly goes about their business of contributing to the chapter. The recipient of this years award is Dav Cranmer.
Dick Sulliven is presented Golden Appie Award by Bob Tessitore, Chapter Vice Chair.
Over the years, some members have given their time and talent to the AMC, and to our Chapter, for such a long time that other yearly awards do not express the appreciation the Chapter has for these members. To show our appreciation, the Chapter has inaugurated our Golden Appie Award. This award is not a yearly award but a lifetime achievement award for service to the Narragansett Chapter. This years an award went to Dick Sullivan.
