Watch for this series from time to time. These are brief stories about the history of the Rotary Club of Coral Gables and its members. The series was written for the Club's 50th Anniversary in 1996 by Past-President Cholly Capps, who has since moved away.
The Rotary Club of Coral Gables (number 6200) was chartered on March 4, 1946, after the District Governor of Rotary appointed Keith Phillips, Sr., (our Keith's grandfather) then Mayor of Coral Gables, to develop a club. Keith, together with Herbert W. MacDonald recruited the original 24 members of the Rotary Club of Coral Gables. Dr. Otto J. Sieplein was the first president. The meetings were held at the Coral Gables Country Club.
