| Charles Feilbach, a wholesale grocer, was just one of those early Toledo Rotarians who not only made a tremendous impact on our club, but truly set the direction of Rotary International and its 27,000-plus clubs worldwide. He was Toledo Rotary's third President, serving in 1915-1916. There are a lot of men both in and out of Rotary who were Rotarians in heart long before Rotary was ever heard of. Charles Feilbach was one of them, exemplifying the fundamental ideals of Rotary.
