 | | History Day at RGHF, honoring the First 100 Clubs of Rotary |
|
Houston http://www.rotaryfirst100.org/clubs/cities/clubs/53houston.htm
The Rotary Club of Houston was founded in August of 1912 soon after newspaper executive Robert Cornell returned from an advertising convention in Dallas where he had met a member of the newly formed Minneapolis Rotary Club.
The Club's official charter was 1 November of 1912, as shown in this duplicate charter issued in August of 1931, but signed by then president Glenn C. Mead.
(Houston was RGHF's first Rotary History Day issue, in May 2009. The first 100 club tributes will continue until 2018.) |
http://www.rotaryfirst100.org/clubs/cities/clubs/54siouxcity.htm In 1914, at the Rotary International convention in Houston, the Sioux City delegation proposed a code of ethics, which was adopted, and later became the basis for the famous Rotary "Four-Way Test." At the same convention, Club 54 introduced the "Iowa Corn Song" to the world.
