House Joint Resolution 703, sponsored by Keisling, honors the Jamestown Rotary Club as it celebrates its eightieth anniversary in 2025. Chartered in April 1945, the club has 23 members, all of whom are Paul Harris Fellows, and is part of Rotary International, a global network dedicated to humanitarian service and ethical standards. The Jamestown Rotary Club has made significant contributions to the community, including sponsoring scholarships, supporting local charitable organizations, and hosting various annual events such as the Chicken Festival and the Children's Shopping Spree Radio-Thon, which raises funds for local children.
The resolution recognizes the club's commitment to public service and its motto, "Service Above Self," highlighting projects like the Third-Grade Dictionary Project and the recent upgrades to Mark Twain Park. As the club reflects on its rich history of community service, the resolution commends both past and present members for their dedication and contributions, extending best wishes for their continued success in future endeavors.
