AWARD RECIPIENT — Carl L. “Pete” Ricker was named recipient of the 2022 Dwight D. Eisenhower Humanitarian Award. It is presented by the Rotary Club of Gettysburg and is given to residents of Adams County who demonstrate a life-long commitment to the local community and to the world community. Ricker provided excellent leadership in his volunteer role as president of the Adams County Habitat for Humanity Board. After seven years as president of the Adams County Habitat for Humanity, Ricker decided it was time to pass the reins on to someone else. Ricker also dedicated his time and talent to Junior Achievement of South-Central PA, AYSO Soccer, Adams County Tech Prep (now Adams County Technical Institute), as a representative on behalf of the banking industry to various elected officials, chair of the Chamber Business and Industry Committee, as well as many other organizations. First presented to Dwight D. Eisenhower by the Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce, the award was transferred in 2003 to the Rotary Club of Gettysburg because of the club’s links to Eisenhower. Ricker received the award at the Rotary’s luncheon meeting on Oct. 17, at the Gettysburg Hotel. (Darryl Wheeler/Gettysburg Times)
