Jonathan P. Whitcomb Memorial Music Circle

Jonathan P. Whitcomb embodied the Rotary motto "Service Above Self" and was awarded the John F. Newnam Service Award, the Rotary Club of Wilmington's highest honor, in July 2019. In his memory, fellow Rotarians dedicated this music circle with the hope that it will be enjoyed by many of the people he loved to help during his life. For the club's centennial in 2015, members and local supporters raised funds and secured a Rotary International Global Grant to improve this park by adding interactive learning experiences for area schoolchildren and making it more enjoyable for nearby residents and workers. Throughout its long history, the Rotary Club of Wilmington has sought to improve the lives of Wilmington residents through post-secondary education scholarships, volunteer assistance, and donations to community charities and local elementary schools, supporting children, families, and others in need. Open regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, religious affiliation, or political affiliation, Rotary asks only for a desire to provide "Service Above Self" and to live by a four-way test centered on truth, fairness, goodwill and friendship, and benefit to all concerned.
