In Observance of Martin Luther King Day

In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Davenport Rotary pauses to reflect on the enduring legacy of a leader who challenged us to build a more just, compassionate, and equitable world.

Dr. King reminded us that “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?” His words echo the very heart of Rotary’s mission—Service Above Self.

As we honor his life and work, may we recommit ourselves to:

• Serving our community with empathy and courage
• Building bridges across differences
• Standing up for dignity, fairness, and opportunity for all
• Leading with integrity in both word and action

Today is not only a day of remembrance—it is a call to service. Let us continue the work of creating the kind of world Dr. King envisioned: one where hope triumphs over fear, and where every act of service brings us closer to peace.

Davenport Rotary proudly joins our community and our nation in honoring Dr. King’s legacy through service, fellowship, and a shared commitment to making a positive difference
