The Rotary Club of Flagler County honored one of its own at the meeting on Tuesday, July 19 in Palm Coast.

 Jim Guines, past present of the Rotary Club of Flagler County from 1996 to 1997 and a former member of the Flagler County School Board, was honored with a tree planted near Palm Coast City Hall in Central Park for his service to the community.

Guines, a former superintendent of schools in Washington D.C., has spent his entire life involved with helping youth. He has mentored and sponsored many graduates of Flagler Palm Coast High School go on to college. The tree, a weeping willow, has a coquina stone at its base and a brass plaque honoring Guines.

Slowed by a stroke, but not knocked down, Guines is currently working on a book using computer voice technology to continue his work.
