Harris in Chicago Illinois on Feb. 23, 1905. The first meeting was held in Room 711 of the Unity Building. Four prospective members attended that first meeting. From there Rotary spread immediately to San Francisco California, and on November 12, 1908 Club # 2 was chartered. From San Francisco, Homer Woods, the founding President, went on to start clubs in Oakland and in 1909 traveled to southern California and founded the Rotary Club of Los Angeles (LA 5) In 1914, at a fellowship meeting of 6 western Rotary Clubs H. J. Brunnier, Presi- dent of the Rotary Club of San Francisco, awoke in the middle of the night with the concept of Rotary Districts. He summoned a porter to bring him a railroad sched- ule of the United States, which also included a map of the USA, and proceeded to map the location of the 100 Rotary clubs that existed at that time and organized them into 13 districts. -

Just like we did for our recent New Years Flood presentation, we’ll pass the microphone! Did you or someone in your family serve in WWII, Korea, or Vietnam, either overseas or stateside? Did you serve on the “home-front” as a defense factory worker, a housewife with a “Victory Garden,” or as a wide-eyed kid watching the military convoys on Foothill Blvd. or spying on the anti-aircraft guns arrayed along upper Crescenta Valley. This will be an evening of memories for those that were there, and an eye-opener for those that weren’t. Join us for this presentation on May 19th at 7:00 p.m. at the La Crescenta Church of Religious Science Located at the intersection of Dunsmore and Santa Carlotta Floyd Farrar’s parents during WWII A Tour of the American Legion Hall In honor of Memorial Day American Legion Post 288 was formed in 1924 by WWI veterans living in the Crescenta Valley.
