Today is a special day to many of us involved with the Ruritans.

We’re having a big birthday party!!! Not for us but; for one of the most involved, supportive members ever here in Clarke County. He has been a mentor and an example of what a true volunteer is like to many of us. For sixty three years he has actively supported our community, many of them as President of our chapter. Year after year, he showed many how to do what’s best for the community and then took the time to talk us through it. Gentle and kind are good words to describe him but, smart and driven are right there with them.

So here’s your official happy, happy birthday Jerry Beydler from us! The Ruritan Club of Clarke County would not be where it is today without you! Your support and dedication have inspired many!

90 years old and still volunteering. 💥📬🎂🎉
