Rotary Awards Scholarship 2023
 

On the evening of June 1, the Rotary Club of Jamestown hosted its 2023 College Scholarship winner during a dinner meeting held at Birdview (circa 1885) on Newport Street in the Dumplings. Rotary Club President and Birdview co-owner, Jeffrey Gravdahl, welcomed Rian Hines, the La Salle Academy senior and Jamestown resident, who wrote the winning essay. Gravdahl, along with Scholarship Committee Chair Lisa Molinari, presented Hines with the scholarship certificate and check for $2,000. 
Hines read his essay on "What does 'Service Above Self'" mean to you?" and recounted his years of involvement with the local Jamestown charity, Operation Jack Rabbit, which helps the homeless and needy during holidays. After graduation from La Salle, Hines plans to have a fishing-filled summer, followed by enrollment at Boston College where he will study Economics and prepare for law school. "I hope to bring Operation Jack Rabbit to college and help even more people," Hines said. After college, he plans to become a lawyer and continue to advocate for people in need. 
Hines' parents, Paul and Trish Hines of Jamestown, were also in attendance.

Rotary Supports Boy Scouts

Posted on May 03, 2023
 
At our meeting on May 3rd at Our Table restaurant the Jamestown Rotary presented a check for $1000.00 to Charlotte Markey, Southwest District Executive of the BSA. The contribution will support the BSA’s Growing Leaders Campaign so scouting can continue to make a difference in the lives of our youth in Jamestown and South County.
The donation provides:
  • A year-round camping program for new and experienced campers,
  • Resources for community outreach for local events,
  • Upgrades to facilities to meet new guidelines making safety the priority.
  • Training for volunteers at all levels of the program,
  • Financial assistance so that any youth can participate in Scouting.
The Boy Scouts of America teach timeless values to build character as well as critical technical, social, and emotional skills so that Scouts can take on the challenges that life’s journey presents them.
The Jamestown Rotary is the sponsor of and supports annually Jamestown’s Troop One and Rotarian Larry Bartley is the Troop’s District Chairman.
Anyone who would like to learn more about scouting in our community may contact Charlotte Markey at 401-351-8700 or by email at Charlotte.markey@scouting.org.
