HONORLITE
This distinguished Honorlite Award is the highest award given to an Illuminator member who has not served as an officer of the Organization. Each Honorlite was dedicated to “Spreading the Lite of Good Fellowship”.
They went beyond the call of duty and served with passion. Our organization’s strength and longevity are due to our Past and Future Honorlite.
