  HONORING CLARK BOYD FOR HIS SERVICE AS PRESIDENT OF ROTARY CLUB OF 
                                LEBANON

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DIANE BLACK

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 17, 2013

  Mrs. BLACK. Mr. Speaker, for more than one hundred years Rotary 
International has made it their mission to provide service to others, 
promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and 
peace. Today, it is my honor to recognize one of Rotary's distinguished 
club presidents, Mr. Clark Boyd from Lebanon, Tennessee.
   A graduate of East Tennessee State University, Clark served his 
country for more than a decade in the Army National Guard and U.S. Army 
Reserve. Today, Clark makes good on the promise to be a ``good 
neighbor'' to the customers entrusted to his care as a State Farm 
Insurance agent in Lebanon, where he also serves as chairman of the 
Wilson County Republican Party and president of his local Habitat for 
Humanity.
   Under Clark's leadership, the Rotary Club of Lebanon generously 
donated $6,000 to local and international non-profits, gave $8,000 to 
the noble work of Rotary International and joined members of the local 
Kiwanis club to create a Lebanon youth baseball league. Additionally, 
the club was awarded the prestigious ``STAR Club Award'' and ``Globe 
Club Award.''
   Apart from his service to Rotary, Clark evinces his devout Christian 
faith as chairman of the men's ministry at Immanuel Baptist Church, 
where he also serves as a deacon and Sunday school teacher. Most 
importantly, Clark is the loving husband to his wife of eleven years, 
Jana, and a proud father to his two children: Wilson and Blair.
   While Clark's tenure as president of Rotary Club of Lebanon will end 
this year, his passion for investing in the lives of others and serving 
his community will not. I congratulate Clark on an exceptional year as 
president of Rotary Club of Lebanon and honor him for his selfless 
example of service to others.
