  WHEREAS,  The  world's  first service club, Rotary International was
founded on February 23, 1905, when Paul Harris,  a  native  of  Vermont,

of inviting three men of different vocations  to  join  him  weekly  for
fellowship and to discuss each other's problems and business; and

  WHEREAS,  Today, Rotary International has grown into an organization
including over 1.2 million members in approximately 29,000 clubs  across
163 countries; each club is made up of business and professional leaders
who  are  dedicated  to  humanitarian  service,  encourage  high ethical
standards in all  vocations,  and  help  to  build  peace  and  goodwill
throughout the world; and

  WHEREAS, The Rotary Club of Akron-Newstead held its first meeting on
March  9,  1989, and received its official charter in April of that same
year; and

been  an  integral  part  of  the  local  community;  the  Club has made
countless meaningful contributions to make Erie County a better place to
live, work and play; and

  WHEREAS, Each day, members of the Rotary Club of Akron-Newstead pour
their passion, integrity,  and  intelligence  into  completing  projects
which have an enduring impact on the communities they serve; and

  WHEREAS,  After  three  decades,  the  Rotary Club of Akron-Newstead
remains a place where  neighbors,  friends,  and  problem-solvers  share
ideas, join leaders, and take action to create lasting change; and

  WHEREAS,  The  success  of  the  Rotary Club of Akron-Newstead is in
direct correlation to  the  efforts  of  its  dedicated  members,  whose
involvement  is,  and  always  has  been, characterized by an impressive
commitment, an unbridled enthusiasm, and an uncompromising  standard  of
excellence  in  all  endeavors  on  behalf  of  the organization and the
community it serves; and

  WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proudly moved to honor and commend
the members of the Rotary Club of Akron-Newstead, past and present,  who

have  labored  so  conscientiously  to secure and improve the quality of
life for the community it serves by perpetuating its  motto  of  Service
Above Self; now, therefore, be it
