At our March 29th meeting, the Club honored Jack Kay, Chairman of the York County Industrial Development Authority,with the Service Above Self award. A dedicated community leader, Jack played an integral role in the seven year-long effort to preserve, restore, and reestablish The Yorktowne Hotel's architectural character and historic place in the York community. His vision, heartfelt passion, and relentless determination were keys to the successful restoration and reopening of the jewel of downtown York. Jack is a true example of how putting service above self can bring about meaningful and positive change within our communities.
