Raybould • History of the Rotary Club of Chillicothe - 1917-1992 Preface: • • A service club is made up of people. Everythtng the Chilltcothe Rotary Qub has accomplished has been done by tis members. As you read this brief history, remember, the projects and accomplishments of the Club were the result of countless hours of effort by countless numbers of highly motivated and dedtcated members. The leaders were often club presidents or committee chairmen, but usually many Rotarians were tnvolved. We have menttoned almost no individuals by name In this document because to do so would have overlooked too many others. The Beginning: In the summer of 1917 a group of men met daily in the Clinton House Drug Store at the comer of Walnut and Water Streets. They talked about Rotary, which had been started February 23, 1905, in Chicago by a similar group of men, and had since spread to many other cities. Rotary's high ideals, exemplified by its motto "Service above Self," appealed to the young Chillicothe businessmen. Walter Sears, one of the owners of the Sears and Nichols Canning Company that had a plant at the southeast comer of Main and Mulberry Streets, had recently moved from Columbus to Chillicothe. He had been a member of the Rotary Club of Columbus and he agreed to help the group form a Rotary Club here. Twenty-nine active and three associate 'members were chosen and application for a charter, under the sponsorship of the Columbus Club, was made to Rotary International. Installation of the Rotary Club, Chillicothe'S first service club, was a big event! On November 13,1917, the Columbus Rotary Club, nearly 1000A> strong, arrived on a special Norfolk & Western train. The train was switched to a siding at Camp Sherman where the installation ceremonies took place. At that time all of Ohio was in Rotary's 22nd District, and the District Governor and the immediate past president of the Columbus Club were in charge. Major General Glenn, Camp Sherman's Commanding Officer, was a special guest and the main speaker. It was a gala event with many other guests including the Weber Male Quartet from New York City. The Rotary Club of Chillicothe, Ohio, U.S.A., Rotary's 370th club, was now officially chartered. • PAGE SEVEN • Yea~: Outing the first year, twenty-seven new members were accepted. Meetings originally were held Tuesdays at the Warner Hotel, but they were soon changed to noon on Mondays. The initial club projects were the sale of liberty Bonds and other activities related to World War 1. Meetings were moved to the Army Club due to the large number of visitors from Camp Sherman, and later to a restaurant at the Clinton House. In time they returned to the Warner House. In the early years, Ladies' Night was one of the highlights of each year. The first was held January 6, 1919, with dinner and entertainment, gifts for the ladies, and dancing until midnight. A dinner in honor of the city school teachers was held May 29, 1922. Originally planned as a surprise party for our Rotarian school superintendent, it was so successful it was repeated every year for more than thirty years. Probably the most noteworthy of the Club's early community service projects was its successful effort to convince the Federal Government to preserve the Mound Builder burial grounds north of Chillicothe. Although the mounds had been partly destroyed by agricultural use of the land and the construction of Camp Sherman, Mound City Group National Monument was created in 1923, the mounds were restored, and this important historical treasure has been one of Ross County's important landmarks ever since. It was managed for many years by the Ohio Archeological and Historical Society and, beginning in 1946, by the National Park Service. During the early twenties the Chillicothe Rotary Club organized clubs in Ironton, Portsmouth, Washington C.H., Wellston, Circleville, and Jackson. We helped in the installation of clubs in Lancaster, Logan, Nelsonville, and Greenfield. Intercity meetings were established to keep· in touch with the new clubs. The first of these was with Lancaster. By 1923 Chillicothe Rotary had about 75 members. During the depression years the club set up stoves in many of the city and county schools and arranged for free meals to be provided to the children. For a number of years following the depression, free milk was provided to needy children. Rotary's Early Aid to crippled children became one of Rotary's major concerns throughout the country. The idea started in Ohio and the Chillicothe Club sponsored annual crippled children's clinics and Christmas parties. Assistance was given to the Boy Scouts and the Salvation Army, PAGE EIGHT • • and many children were given a week's outing at the YMCA camp near Bourneville. A Rotary camp was established along the Scioto River north of Chillicothe (at the south end of what is now Orr Road) which was available to youth organizations for picnics. Forties and Fifties: • During the forties one of our own members was District Governor. We were now in District 231 and Charles C. Evans was Governor in 1943-1944. Many of our members served in the anned forces during World War II, and the Club met at the Town House on West Second Street. We set up a fund for the purchase of books for the Chillicothe Public Library and placed new Rotary signs at the entrances to our city. In 1946 we moved from the Town House to Highland's Restaurant, across the alley from the Warner Hotel, and when Walter Highland closed his restaurant to take over the Warner Hotel dining room, we moved with him. Our meetings were held at the Lynne House on East Second Street for three months in 1948, but for the most part the Warner was Chillicothe Rotary's meeting place. As the numbers of Rotary clubs grew, District 231 was split in 1950 and Chillicothe found itself in District 232. Chillicothe's Dr. Nicholas H. Holmes was District Governor in 1953-54. Members were still returning from military service in the early fifties and we were still haVing annual inter-city meetings with the Portsmouth Rotary Club. After many years, Ladies Night once again became one of our important occasions in 1953. Our Rotary Anns helped us celebrate Rotary's 50th anniversary in 1955 and our own 40th anniversary two years later. In 1969 Ladies Night was held at Scioto Downs race track. " One of Chillicothe Rotary's objectives has been the encouragement of understanding between the farmers and the city dwellers. In 1950 the Rural-Urban committee had a tent at the Ross County Fair intended to serve "as a meeting place for Rotarians from the county and surrounding counties and a rest area for fairgoers." Tellers in the late fifties refer to the Annual Farmers Tour each June, and for the last 25 years we have invited farmers from the area to our Rural-Urban Day each year. We began holding joint meetings with our local service clubs. We had met with Altrusa and Kiwanis in 1949, and throughout the fifties, sixties, and early seventies inter-club meetings or picnics were annual affairs with Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, and the Exchange Club rotating as hosts. What year the ftrst Rotary-Kiwanis golf match was held isn't clear, • PAGE NINE • but in 1948 the Teller headlined "Rotary Finally Wins!" We won from time to time after that, but for the most part through the years our golfers have been outplayed by the Kiwanians. When the annual Kettle Newsies sale was started by the Jaycees in 1941 to benefit the Salvation Army, Rotary soon became one of its enthusiastic supporters. A Rotarian purchased a trophy to help generate competition among the organizations that manned the kettles. Rotary's name was engraved on the cup as the winner every year until the cup was filled, and a second cup was purchased. Until that practice was discontinued in the early eighties, we failed only once to win the trophy, and Rotary has continued to collect the largest amounts of money most years since then. Helping the Youth: The Chillicothe Rotary Club's service projects have changed as the years have gone by. In 1935 Rotary was instrumental, locally and nationally, in the formation and early operation of the Crippled Children'S Society, which is now the Easter Seal Society. The new organization assumed and expanded Rotary's medical services to crippled children, but our Club's Christmas parties continued for a number of years. By the late ftfties, other support programs had made our school milk project unnecessary, and as the numbers of teachers outgrew available space, Teachers Night became limited to new and retired teachers and was finally discontinued altogether. Rotary still provides financial assistance to the schools for new teacher orientation. Support for young people, their health, education, and their world understanding, has always been a concern of Rotarians in Chillicothe and throughout the world. In the late forties we began sending local students to an annual World Affairs Institute held in Cincinnati, and a few years later the Club sponsored a student at the International Folk Festival at Wilmington College. We set up a student loan fund in 1953. Under Rotary International's Exchange Student program we have sent young people to study in foreign countries and Rotarians have housed students who have come to Chillicothe from distant lands. When Tulua, Colombia, became Chillicothe'S first Sister City, the dub helped sponsor an exchange student from there. Realizing the importance of Scouting to our young people, we were helping the Boy Scouts' Chief Logan Council send underprivileged boys to Camp Mingo on Route 50 west of Chillicothe in the PAGE TEN • • • • late forties. We bought them a sound projector and dishes for their dining room in the fifties. A three-day Pancake Festival at the Elks Hall was undertaken in 1960 and again in 1961 to raise money for the purchase of a station wagon for the Seal of Ohio Girl Scouts Council and help meet the Club's $2,400 pledge to the Boy Scouts campaign to build Chief Logan ReselVation. The Club also built the council ring at the new camp and has helped in its rebuilding in recent years. We invited local high school students to attend our meetings from time to time as early as 1940, and, beginning about 1961, "High School Rotarians" became regular visitors. Soon after that the Club began recognizing honor students from Chillicothe and Bishop Flaget high schools at a meeting each spring. Rotary had a lot to do with getting Junior Achievement started in this community in 1977 and we have provided financial support to JA over the years that followed. Since 1982, one meeting each spring has been dedicated to honoring the JA volunteers. The Chillicothe Rotary Club and its members have been involved in the establishment and enhancement of Ohio University's Chillicothe Campus since its inception. In 1946, before the first university classes were started in Chillicothe High School (now Smith Middle School), the club set up committees to help arrange student housing and aid the University with local problems and general public relations. Rotarians have always been active members of the OU-C Regional Council and the club contributed to the fund to establish a permanent campus in 1963, using the last of its Pancake Festival profits for this purpose. In 1976 we awarded a scholarship to a student attending the .Chillicothe campus, and in 1979 this became one of the Club's most important annual events. Every year Chillicothe Rotary presents a full tuition scholarship for the following year to an OU-C student from our area who has demonstrated outstanding academic performance during his or her freshman year. Usually the speaker is a top Ohio University official; OU President Charles Ping has addressed us four of the last ten years on this important occasion. Goodbye to the Warner: The Warner Hotel had been Chillicothe Rotary's home for most of its first fifty years. Goldie Vernia had operated the dining room in its later years, and when she closed it in 1964 to open the Valley House restaurant in the new Central Center, Rotary moved with her. We were • PAGE ELEVEN • now in District 669, the club had about 95 members, and that summer Bob Evans became our first third-generation member. A year later, on September 20, we had a moment of silent prayer for Murray Anderson, who had been the last living charter member of our club. During the sixties and seventies Rotary or its members were instrumental in the establishment of Chillicothe's outstanding outdoor drama, Tecumseh!, the city's construction of the Donald M. Smith memorial swimming pool in Yoctangee Park, and the building of a shelter house at Roweton Boys Ranch. Chillicothe Rotary contributed to the YMCA building fund in 1967 and a few years later the Pancake Festival was revived as an annual one-day affair at the YMCA. Pancake Day has become a traditional Rotary project every fall, with half the proceeds going to the "Y". In an effort to promote better health, an annual Rotary-Kiwanis Heart Luncheon was established in 1968. At this joint meeting of the two clubs, local Heart Association representatives are honored, a "healthy" luncheon is served, and the speaker talks about heart problems and progress in overcoming them. To properly commemorate the nation's Bicentennial, the Rotary Club raised $7,000 in 1976 to bring Chillicothe its greatest fireworks display ever. Paul Harris Fellows, Chillicothe Rotary Foundation, and PolioPlus: Chillicothe Rotary had always supported the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International, which is the largest organization of its kind in the world, but its members had not provided strong individual financial support. In the early eighties we had only three Paul Harris Fellows, honors that been conferred on them by the club. A Paul Harris Fellow is a person who has, or on whose behalf has been, contributed $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation. A Rotarian who contributes $100 per year to the Foundation is recognized as a Paul Harris Sustaining Member and becomes a Paul Harris Fellow when the contributions total $1,000. A strong appeal was made to the membership in 1982 to increase our support of the Rotary Foundation, and the results were dramatic. Within about a year we had 33 sustaining members and two new Paul Harris Fellows! The contributions continued to increase and by November, 1984, we had fifteen Paul Harris Fellows. In 1982 we decided to create a local Rotary Foundation in order to PAGElWELVE • • • better provide support to our community. Its ftrst trustees were elected in March, 1983, and a Code of Regulations for the new foundation was adopted by the club a year later. Funding came from Teller advertising, ftnes levied at meetings, club projects, and individual support. By the summer of 1984 the Chillicothe Rotary Foundation had more than $7,000. The goal was to reach about $20,000 and then begin making limited contributions to worthwhile projects. The goal was reached and surpassed within a few years. In 1988 the fund reached $30,000 and by 1991 it was $50,000. Its trustees allocate about 10% of its total each year to community projects. The Club tried new money-raising projects in the early eighties. We sponsored an annual supermarket dash and operated a food booth each August at the Ross County Fair. Volunteers to run the Fair booth were hard to get, and in 1986 it was partly sold and partly donated to the Concerned Citizens for the Handicapped. A golf tournament replaced it as a fund-raising project, with the proceeds going to our local foundation. We all provided ftnancial support to HEMSA, an effort by our district and another to provide medical supplies and safe drinking water facilities in Honduras. The two districts raised $87,000 and purchased two trucks and a drilling rig which were shipped to Honduras. A paid consultant supeJVised\the drilling of the ftrst of the fresh water wells in 1985. We received a tnatching grant from the Rotary Foundation of $308,000, which enabled us to drill a total of 200 wells. In the late 1970's, Rotary International approached the World Health Organization asked what RI could do to help control polio, which was killing 50,000 children every year in the undeveloped countries around the world. In 1978 RI announced the Health, Hunger, ,and Humanity program, and the next year an inoculation program was started by the Rotary Foundation in the Philippines. By 1982 the number of polio cases there had been reduced by nearly 60% and RI adopted the goal of working with WHO, UNICEF, and local health agencies to immunize all the world's children against polio by the time of the 100th anniversary of Rotary International in the year 2005. In 1986 the project was expanded and later the target date was advanced to the year 2000. In cooperation with the other agencies and organizations, Rotary would set up medical teams throughout the world to inoculate children for polio, measles, tetanus, whooping cough, diphtheria, and tuberculosis. More than $100,000,000 would be required for the project, to be known as PolioPlus. Contributions to Rotary International for this project would count as payments for Paul Harris Fellows. • • We learned more about the project, devoting one entire program to PolioPlus in November, 1987. At year end, PolioPlus pledge cards were passed out. Chillicothe Rotary's goal was $25,000. The January 11, 1988, Teller reports "Astounding Success" for PolioPlus: 80 pledge cards, $40,685! This would pay to inoculate 320,000 children. The results were the same throughout Rotary. District 669 pledged $2,002,145; our own total reached more than $44,000. "A spirit of delirious excitement" pelVaded the Rotary International convention in Philadelphia in May, 1988, when it was announced RI had nearly doubled its $120 million goal by raising $219,350,449. Women in Rotary: Another major achievement for Rotary has been the opening up of membership to women. During the sixties and seventies many Rotarians became increasingly restless with Rotary's all-male status. In Chillicothe and elsewhere women were moving into key management and professional positions but were not eligible for Rotary membership. The matter began coming up regularly at RI's annual convention, but was always voted down, with the heaviest opposition coming from representatives of clubs in other parts of the world. In 1978, the Rotary Oub of Duarte, California, unable to get HI's approval to admit women members, admitted them anyway. The club's charter was suspended, but it continued to meet and took the matter to court. Finally, in June, 1987, the United States Supreme Court upheld a California Supreme Court decision that ROtary Clubs in the United States cannot exclude women. Within a month Dr. Pat Carr, Chillicothe's Superintendent of Schools, and Gas Company Manager Deb Burley were proposed for membership in our club. Deb became our first woman member on August 10, 1987, and Pat was inducted a week later. By the following June we led the district with five women members. In 1989 Rotary International removed the world "male" from the RI constitution and bylaws. In the early eighties farsighted Chillicothe Rotarians were in the forefront in successful efforts to convince the dty to acquire the area north of Yoctangee Park now known as the City Park Annex, giving sports-minded dtizens a large number of new softball diamonds and soccer fields. At the same time, when the Feast of the Flowering Moon was organized, Rotary assumed responsibility for the Anything-ThatFloats-But-a-Boat Race, which has become a premier event at the Feast every spring. PAGE FOURTEEN • • In 1988 Chillicothe Rotary officially supported efforts to get the Pump House Art Gallery off the ground. An auction garnered $13,000 for restoration work thanks in a large measure to Rotary participation. Rotarians have continued to be involved in this cultural addition to the Chillicothe area. Rotarians have initiated or been the key figures in Chillicothe's downtown Streetscape project, acquisition and restoration of the Majestic Theatre, and the 1991 Chillicothe High School all-class reunion. , •• New Clubs and a New Home: During our 1985-86 Rotary year we sponsored the establishment of a Rotary Club in Waverly. Committee members found considerable enthusiasm in Pike County for a Rotary Club of their own, and on June 26, 1986, Chillicothe Rotarians presided over Charter Night for the new Waverly Club. Waverly became the seventh Rotary Club Chillicothe had sponsored. In 1990 the Yalley House closed so the building could be tom down to make room for a larger commercial business. We moved temporarily to the Chillicothe Country Club and a few weeks later voted to make it our permanent meeting place. We had been meeting at the Yalley House for 26 years. Sponsoring a second Rotary Club in Chillicothe had been discussed for several years, and on October 7, 1991, club members approved starting another Chillicothe Club. Five months and a lot of hard work later we attended Charter Night for the First Capital Breakfast Rotary Club, which meets every Thursday moming at the Pump House. In 1991 we sponsored the establishment of an Interact Club at 'Zane Trace High School. Interact clubs are composed of high school age young people, "Junior Partners in Service" of the sponsoring Rotary Clubs. The objective is to help· them develop a sense of civic responsibility and commitment to international understanding. Our Interact committee and the Zane Trace administration, faculty, and students worked long and hard to get the club organized. On December 9, 1991, the club's forty-some members and school officials attended our meeting. Our District Governor and his wife were on hand to greet them and we presented their president with a gavel. Six weeks later the club's officers and advisor returned to receive their new banner and certificate of organization. The new club was involved in projects even before it was chartered. • PAGE FIFTEEN • Seroice Above Self: In 1947 Rotary established the Rotary International Scholarship program. These scholarships were designed to further international understanding and friendly relations among nations as well as to provide deselVing young men and women an opportunity to broaden their education. In 1988 the Rotary Club of Chillicothe successfully sponsored native Chillicothe an Nikki Kaltenbach for this scholarship award. Nikki, a 1983 graduate of Chillicothe High School, attended Miami University and Ohio State University, earning a Master's Degree in French. Awarded the Rotary graduate scholarship, Nikki pursued her studies in French Medieval literature at the Center for Medieval Studies in Poitiers, France, during the academic year 1988-1989. Continuing the concern we have always had for crippled children, we manned the telephones taking pledges for the 1989 Easter Seal telethon. This has now become an annual event for Chillicothe Rotarians. Rotary also helps sell Root Beer floats each June to benefit the Easter Seal Society. Our club's involvement at a district level jumped in 1991. Jim Barrington headed the World Community SelVice Committee of our District, now known as District 6690. Four other Chillicothe Rotarians were appointed to district level committees last year as well. We prOVided $2,000 in financial support for one of Jim's committee's projects, Operation Smile. A medical mission sponsored by our district went to Panama and repaired facial deformities, especially in children. Rotary districts around the country sent similar missions to other parts of the world. We collected children'S books which were sent to Montserrat in the Caribbean and raised money selling pancakes on four different occasions during our 1991-92 year. In late spring of 1992 we built a scorers' booth in the City Park Annex. Officials can watch four different softball games from the booth's upper level observation windows, and by next season refreshments will. be sold on the ground level. Looking Ahead: As we in the Rotary Club of Chillicothe review our seventy-five years of fellowship and selVice, we can look to the future with pride and enthusiasm. With about 127 members, we are the largest we have ever been. Including the First Capital Morning Club, Rotarians are 160 PAGE SIXTEEN • , • strong in Chillicothe. We have 57 Paul Harris Fellows and 19 Paul Harris Sustaining Members. Rotarians continue to be the prime movers •. behind virtually every significant community effort. We are organizing an Interact Club at Unioto High School. Meanwhile the Zane Trace Interact Club has nearly doubled in size to more than 75 members and is tackling new projects. Four years after Rotary ceased being an aU-male organization, our women members are becoming key cogs in the Chillicothe Rotary wheel. They have been important forces in the club's growing community service record and the high quality of our meetings. With two women now on our board of Directors, five serving as committee chairmen, and five as co-chairmen, the time has qUickly arrived that we are all Rotarians together and the club is richer for it. With more than $50,000 in the Chillicothe Rotary Foundation's funds, we are supplementing the Club's selVice projects and our individual community involvement with financial grants to a wide variety of organizations and community needs. Our honor students and High School Rotarians now come from schools throughout the city and county. We are involved in a new project in District 6690 known as Gift of Life. Up to eight children per year with life-threatening problems are flown to Children's Hospital in Columbus from places such as Kenya and EI Salvador. They receive needed surgery and other treatment without charge and return to their homes. Here in Ross County, Mound City Group National Monument has been renamed Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, and will expand dramatically over the upcoming years. Last year's District 'Governor described the Chillicothe Country Club as the fmest meeting place in the district, and we have won the Rotary-Kiwanis Golf Match for three years in a row! As members of the Chillicothe Rotary Club, we can be proud of our past, and the best is yet to come . • PAGE SEVENTEEN Rotary Club of Chillicothe • Monday, Octob •• ~ £ A .-~ tIP ~_CL eo.,~,.~ ...,.fJ;J~ .15~ c ...
