Harvey Holden honored as a Lifetime Member
Rotary celebrated Harvey Holden by honoring him as a Lifetime Member of the Rotary Club of Washington. Harvey first joined Rotary in 1971. He also spent several terms as the Mayor of Washington in the 1990s, as well as serving on the City Council before that.
Harvey also celebrated his 98th birthday earlier this year in May at Rotary. This summer, Harvey resigned him membership in Rotary International due to other time obligations on Thursdays.
