Midlothian Ruritan Club Ruritan National has nearly 30,000 members throughout the United States improving more than 1,100 lo

The first Ruritan Club was chartered May 21, 1928, in Holland, Virginia. Since that first club, Ruritan has grown throughout the United States of America, and in doing so, has become "America’s Leading Community Service Organization." Tom Downing of Suffolk, Virginia, and Jack Gwaltney of Holland, Virginia, are known as the co-founders of Ruritan. Gwaltney and Downing recognized the need for an organization where community leaders could meet and discuss ways to make their community a better place in which to live. The name "Ruritan" was suggested by Daisy Nurney, a reporter for the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot newspaper, and the club’s charter members unanimously adopted "Ruritan" as the organization’s name. The word is a combination of the Latin words for open country "ruri" and small town "tan," interpreted as pertaining to rural and small town life.

On Thursday, the Midlothian Ruritan Club held its annual scholarship awards ceremony. Dedicated to community service and improvement, one of our favorite events each year is recognizing local students in July.

Throughout the year, the Club raises funds through events like Brunswick Stew and Christmas Tree sales to support civic projects and community initiatives. This year, we were proud to award seven $1,000 scholarships to students beginning or continuing their college education. The Club also supports local trade and nursing programs.

Congratulations to all seven recipients, and best wishes as they continue their educational journeys.

Last week, members of the Midlothian Ruritan Club had the privilege of participating in the annual Flags on the Hill ceremony at the Virginia War Memorial.
Our members helped place flags across the hillside in honor of the brave Virginians who made the ultimate sacrifice while defending our nation’s freedom. It was a meaningful opportunity to remember their courage, reflect on their service, and pay tribute to those who gave everything for the freedoms we enjoy today.
We are honored to take part in this special tradition and will never forget the sacrifices of our fallen heroes.
