Steve Glenn, Lincoln 14, is being recognized for his herculean efforts to support Ukrainian refugees.
The Council of Governors (all the past District Governors) is presenting this award at the District Conference in the evening celebration on Saturday, April 1st. This special award is not given often, it has been over 20 years since the last special award was given by the CoG.
In March of 2022, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, he launched Operation Safe Harbor, an effort to provide temporary housing for refugees arriving in Poland as they fled the war in Ukraine. These refugees were predominantly women and children. He leveraged his contacts in the travel industry to partner with a hotel in Warsaw to provide rooms for displaced families. Providing the privacy and relative peacefulness of a hotel room was a critical benefit to traumatized families; much more favorable than sleeping in cots in an open gymnasium.
