Bill > K00774

This resolution commemorates the 110th anniversary of the Rotary Club of Utica, New York, recognizing the organization's century-long commitment to community service and global goodwill. Founded on March 12, 1915, with 104 original members, the Rotary Club has made significant contributions to the local community, including establishing dental and orthopedic clinics, supporting war efforts by purchasing Liberty Bonds, founding other local service clubs, and engaging in numerous volunteer projects. The club has sponsored youth exchange programs, supported local institutions like the Utica Zoo and Utica City School District, and participated in international relief efforts, such as sending fire gear to Chile and supporting hurricane relief in Puerto Rico. With 83 current members meeting twice monthly, the club continues to embody its motto of "Service Above Self" by organizing community service projects, fundraisers, and social events that benefit local residents and foster global understanding. The resolution officially pauses to recognize the club's remarkable service and commend its members for their ongoing commitment to community welfare.
