Decatur Rotary Club Makes a Difference on MLK Weekend


In the true spirit of service, the Decatur Rotary Club spent their Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend giving back to their community. Rotarians, including DG Gordon and Ashley Owens, came together to help restore the home of an elderly couple in their neighborhood, bringing smiles, comfort, and hope to a family in need.

The project was more than a repair job; it was a labor of love. Volunteers spent the weekend painting, repairing damaged areas, and sprucing up the yard to create a safer and more welcoming environment. By focusing on much-needed improvements, the team ensured the couple could continue to live comfortably in their home.

This effort highlights Rotary’s commitment to "Service Above Self." Beyond physical repairs, the Decatur Rotarians built connections with the family, offering companionship and showcasing the power of community.

The weekend wasn’t just about manual labor—it was also an opportunity for Rotarians to strengthen their bonds and inspire each other through teamwork. With such an impactful initiative, the Decatur Rotary Club set a high standard for community involvement while embodying Rotary's core mission of creating positive, lasting change.
