Sherman Community Service Award The Robert "Sparky" Sherman
Community Service Award was established in 1982 in memory of Sparky Sherman,
W7EEA. It was developed to give recognition to members of our group who were
distinctive in ·Community Service".
The Clark County Amateur Radio Club instituted this award in 1982 to
recognize Sparky. For years ·Sparky· was the most visible ham in the
vicinity, and many were enriched by knowing him. Sparky was a very colorful non-sighted
amateur radio operator. He was a music instructor at the Washington State
School for the Blind. He was very
active in the Lions Club and other civic activities. Upon his death, the club
instituted the award and gave it posthumously In his name as the CCARC's
annual community service award. Since
that time, the person selected was usually a person very active in community
service events that benefitted the community even outside the realm of ham
radio. The Sparky Sherman Community
Service Award is awarded annually to the amateur radio operator making the
most significant contribution to public servIce. To see the recipients of the Sparky Sherman Award, click here. Lloyd
