THE ROTARY CLUB.
The rotary club, a local chapter of the International Association of
Rotary clubs, was established in Flint, April 7, 1916, with twenty-two
charter members. The association has established chapters, not only in
cities throughout the United States, but in Canada, Great Britain and the
Philippines, and membership is formed on the unique plan of one active and
representative man from each line of business and profession in the
community to encourage high ethical standards, to increase the efficiency
of members by the development of improved ideas and business methods, and
to quicken interest in civic, social, commercial and industrial
development. The Flint chapter is one of the most recent of the two hundred and
ninety chapters established in this country, and in the few months of it
existence has increased in membership to sixty, having already become a
recognized factor in the business and professional life of the community.
The officers of the club are: President, Walter E. Dunkin; first
vice-president, John J. Mercer, second vice-president, Glenn R. Jackson;
treasurer, William A. Hastings; secretary, DeHull N. Travis. These
officers, together with the following gentlemen, compose the board of
directors: Grant J. Brown, Albert Dodds, and Reinhardt Kleinpell. Honorary
members, William Jennings Bryan. |
