The Rotary Club of Gainesville believes in service above self, and local members have put that motto into action. Contractor Dick Young and architect Brian Gracey combined their talents to start the club’s wheelchair ramp project in 2008, which led to building their 100th ramp Saturday afternoon in Gainesville. Members of the club, including Young and Gracey, set aside their extra time to work on the ramps.
