In fact, the members of Rotary have been offering offering more than 60 years of service to this area. For the newer members who may not have known of the club's history of achievement, the records were set straight last week when Bowmanville Rotary Historian George Vice addressed addressed the club. Mr. Vice said the very first meeting, of what is now an international club, was held on February 1,1905. The Rotary name was established established when the first Club, made up of businessmen, businessmen, held their meetings in rotation at each business.

During this meeting the first executives were elected. When Bowmanville Rotary Rotary was established, they soon began planning and executing various community community service events, in addition addition to their financial support. support. In 1924 Rotary became aware of the need to help crippled children and since then have dedicated much of their funding efforts towards towards that organization. During this same year, at a Rotary conference in Toronto, Toronto, the Club maintained a 100 per cent attendance. "And has never been accomplished accomplished since," said Mr. Vice. The year 1925 brought the introduction of the birthday fund. This Rotary Foundation Foundation Fund exsists today through the $2.00 donated by each Rotarian. Money collected is used to purchase purchase clothing for needy children.

During the 1950's, Rotary won an award for best bulletin bulletin and the Rotary Annes even took over one entire meeting of the Club. The Rotarians attempted a Christmas tree growingpro- ject in 1954 and planted over 40,000 trees between then and 1955. And Vincent Massey School received scoreboards and other athletic athletic equipment for their field in 1956, at a total cost of $1,600 to the Rotarians.
