ROOTS by Cholly Capps

A Little History of Your Rotary Club

You probably didn't know that Cleve Allen was the second president of our club, 1947-48. But some things are known to only a few ... Cleve was a bit of an international celebrity. It seems that he came into the limelight by making flat-footed jumps over double beds at the Rotary International Conventions!

During his term, our Club received a special citation for outstanding accomplishments in the field of Club Service. He put special stress on attendance and the club average for 1947-48 was 95%. Over half the members had perfect attendance and our club's membership grew to 40 during that year.
