Jesse Stimson Club Service Award

This award is presented to a member whose commitment to and long time service to our club exemplifies the level of dedication as Jesse did.  This is not an annual award, but rather given as the service of a member rises to a sufficient level.

“Jesse L. Stimson joined the Rotary Club of Decatur in 1956 and served as president in 1960-1961.  He played piano weekly for 45 years beginning in 1956 and substituted when needed through 2007.  Jesse served as secretary for 20 years and had a total of 30 years of perfect attendance broken only once because of a foreign trip.  He was also twice named a Paul Harris Fellow.  He was an honorary member of this club at the time of his death, May 25, 2008 and was just 3 months short of celebrating his 99th birthday.”

2007-2008 - Harvey Pride Jr.
