President Ann announced open program dates are:  May 23, June 6, 13 and 20……Please fill them.

Program:  Helen Wright was introduced and presented a program on Rotary History.

She covered much of how Rotary was started, who belonged in the beginning, how Rotary actually started the drive for a hospital, the many fund raising evens, which included the white elephant sales, the Rotary Bull, the highly successful travelogues (BT….before television)providing purebred gilts to 4-Hers, providing g rides for rural football players, passing on the District Rotary Goat, and many other historical items.

We started having student guests in 1946…

The Rotary History only goes until 1999.  Needs to be updated…suggests a committee be formed to get it accomplished....
