UPDATE: Due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, the 2020 Annual Sheffield Gala will be POSTPONED. The District 6900 Conference in which winners were to be announced has also been cancelled.
The committee will evaluate rescheduling the gala for a later date in the summer and will communicate that once plans are determined. Any tickets purchased for the event will be honored for the postponed date; however, we will honor requests for refunds as well. Please email Angela Smith at angela.smith@gsw.edu.
If you made reservations at The Windsor Hotel, please call (229) 924-1555 to cancel your room.
The event was to be held at The Carnegie in downtown Americus on May 16, 2020, and included a catered surf & turf dinner, an auction, and special entertainment.
We will all be together again soon! In the meantime, wash your hands, stay safe, and stay home.

The Sheffield Leadership Award, established in 1994, is presented by the Rotary Club of Americus in honor of three Past District Governors – all from the same family and the Americus Rotary Club. It honors John West Sheffield (District 39, 1926-27), John W. Sheffield (District 690, 1961-62), and Langdon Sheffield (District 6900, 1975-76), who have each served this Rotary District as District Governors. The award is presented annually to the District 6900 club presidents (from each of the club size categories) who best exemplify the extraordinary leadership traits represented by the Sheffield family and execute their responsibilities in an exceptional manner.
