Chamber Honored Dr. Bob Carlson as May Volunteer of the Month

The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce honored Dr. Bob Carlson as May’s Volunteer of the Month. Dr. Carlson has been an internist and given back to the community for more than two decades. Dr. Carlson has served in our community and connected our communities in many ways.

“He went to Colorado and saw this vision and thought ‘Why can’t we have this’, which was bike trails”, said Angela Oakes.

He later envisioned connecting our communities and our ability to convert rails to trails with our in town. Him and his wife helped to create North Idaho Bikeways and has given us lighted bike paths in many places, plus access to Sagle and Dover by bike path.

“Dr. Carlson has also been recognized by Rotary as a Paul Harris fellowship, and that is to honor his service above self,” added Angela. “At the same time when you’re giving, you’re getting a lot back. As a community, we’ve gotten a lot back from him.”

Please join the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce in congratulating Dr. Bob Carlson, May’s Volunteer of the Month, and thanking him for all of his contributions and dedication to our community. From the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce, as well as the whole community, Thank You!
