From our Rotary Archives
A huge thanks to fellow Rotarian and Aberdeen Police Chief, Bob Torgerson for recently donating to our Archive Collection over a dozen Rotary Rosters dating from the 1960's and early 70's.
With these additions we have an almost complete set of Rosters dating back to 1960.. We are not yet sure when the first rosters were printed.. Aberdeen Rotary was founded in 1920. We are still looking for rosters from 1968,69,72,77,80,81,88,89,90,91 93,94 and 95. If you have any of these and are willing to add them to our collection, please let Patrick Farwell know..
