A Little History of Your Rotary ClubIt was March of 1917 when the Rotary Club of Miami was founded by the Rotary Club of Jacksonville. In 1946, the Rotary Club of Miami chartered our Club. In 1950, with thehelp of our Club Secretary, Mac MacDonald, we spawned the Rotary Club of South Miami. Mac became the founding President of that Club.
In the next two years, we founded two more clubs, Coconut Grove and Hialeah-Miami Springs. In 1959, we sponsored the Rotary Club of South West Miami-Kendall. Another 17 years passed before we gave birth to the Rotary Club of Key Biscayne. The last club we sponsored was Miami Granada in 1985.
In 1998 we sponsored the Rotary Club of St. Michel, Haiti.
The clubs we sponsored have since spawned six more. So we are responsible for giving birth to twelve clubs in Dade County alone. Doesn't it feel good to be the parent of a large Rotary family? Are we too old to have other offspring?
