Rotary Rose Commitee

The Rotary Rose Committee perpetuates a distinctly local tradition. For many years, a local citizen has been identified and honored for significant but largely unrecognized service to society. To honor these "unsung heroes," they are feted at a Rotary meeting, and presented "a single, perfect, long-stem rose."

In January 2002, the tribute was named the J. Clemson Duckworth Rotary Rose Awward for Outstanding Community Service, in honor of the late Rotarian Clem Duckworth. A plaque naming each successive recipient is on display in the Rotary Room of the Tuscaloosa Public Library.
