Bruce Brooks is Honored by the Club as a
Tom Downing Fellow
(Shown here with National President Becky Lane who presented the award to Bruce.)
The Tom Downing Fellow award is the highest honor a Ruritan Club member can receive and recognizes unselfish personal effort toward the club and community. This honor is given to fewer than 2% of all Ruritan members and serves as the most distinguished recognition within the organization for outstanding dedication and service.
Congratulations to "The Dudes" who scored 1st Place in our
2025 Bowling Tournament!
Thank you to all 60 of our tournament participants.
All proceeds will go
to Feed More.
