”’Service above self ’ is our motto,” Clarksville Rotary Club President Kimberly Wiggins said. “The Club is made up of business and community leaders who look out for the community itself. We see a need and we try to fill it.”

Mayor Joe Pitts attended the ceremony saying, “Rotary Clubs of Clarksville-Montgomery County are institutions of this community. They’re invested and always there when you need them. I’m so grateful we have a civic organization network like the Rotary Clubs.” Sunrise Rotary Club President LaDonna Dowdy talked about the club’s history. “Rotary has been active in this community for 104 years,” Dowdy said. “This first ever Clarksville Rotary sign is something that President Wiggins and I have wanted to do since being elected. Signs like this are in cities throughout this country and we’re thrilled that these will be seen by Clarksvillians and all our visitors.”
