I received a Centenary Medal from the Lifesaving Society today in recognition for my leadership and volunteering that I performed over my years as a lifeguard, instructor, examiner and competition official. The medal on the left is my Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal

The medal features the rescue engraving from the Society’s 1908 Bronze Medallion encircled by the Society’s Latin motto – Whomsoever you see in distress, recognize in him a fellow man. The reverse presents the Society’s 100th Anniversary logo flanked by the anniversary dates 1908-2008 underscored by A Century of Saving Lives.”
