The Franklin Noon Rotary Club - Nearly 70 Years of Service

An experienced commercial developer, Scott Fish serves as principal of UP Development, a firm headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, and active largely in the southeastern United States. Outside of his responsibilities as a developer, Scott Fish has a history of supporting civic organizations in his community, including the Franklin Noon Rotary Club.

Chartered in January of 1948, the Franklin Noon Rotary Club commits itself to improving the lives of people both in the middle Tennessee region and across the world. Consisting of local public servants and businesspeople, it has played a key role in providing in excess of $2 million to charities and community organizations over its nearly 70-year history. In undertaking its work, it adheres to the Rotary International motto, “Service Above Self.”

The Franklin club’s longest-running project is the Franklin Rodeo, which it has funded and operated since 1950. Apart from the rodeo, its recent efforts, which range from the local to the international, have included helping to install smoke detectors in Franklin homes and funding an initiative that provided year-round water to a Honduran family in need. In recognition of its charitable achievements, the Franklin Noon Rotary Club garnered distinction as its district’s Rotary Club of the Year for 2016.
