The Club hosts an annual Awards Banquet for members and their guests every December. The Awards Banquet is always an enjoyable social event, as well as an opportunity to publicly recognize and express appreciation for those members who have helped to advance the purposes of the Club.
At the annual awards Banquet, the Club also presents the Doc Spike Award, and the President's Award.
