First Responder Community Hero Award: Greg Almos

Tahoe Douglas Rotary has been a part of the South Shore community since 1962, and, as are the other 1.2 million Rotarians in the world, are bound by a commong purpose, Service Above Self. The club felt it was an ideal fit to recognize police and fire professionals in the community who make sacrifies every day to serve and protect.

This week, South Tahoe Now has been highlighting each of this year's winners of the inagural First Responder Community Hero Award.

The awards recognize the South Shore's local police and fire professionals who serve the community. As part of the club's 47th annual St. Patrick's Day celebration they will recognize heroes from Tahoe Douglas Fire, Douglas County Sheriff, South Lake Tahoe Fire, Lake Valley Fire, South Lake Tahoe Police, and El Dorado County Sheriff.​

The sixth and final winner of the Community Hero Award is El Dorado County Sheriff Deputy Greg Almos

"Deputy Almos demonstrates a sincere commitment to serving the residents of our community," said Sheriff John D'Agostini. "He devotes great attention to how to make the South Lake Tahoe Basin safer and more enjoyable."

Tahoe-Douglas Rotary and the First Responder Community Hero Award Sponsors are proud to donate $1,000 to El Dorado Search and Rescue Council in recognition of Greg’s service to our community! Harrah’s Harveys will also offer a weekend of food, lodging and entertainment to Greg to enjoy some R & R.
