The Early Years

100 YEARS OF DOING GOOD IN THE WORLD

ARCH KLUMPHS VISION 1917

It seems eminently proper that we
should accept endowments for the
purpose of doing good in the
world, in charitable, educational or
other avenues of community
progress
Arch Klumph, 1917

ARCH KLUMPHS VISION 1917

Rotarys 1917-18 Board of Directors

FIRST CONTRIBUTION 1917

THE ROTARY FOUNDATION AND TRUSTEES 1928

We are determined that the
Endowment Fund shall not be
unpopular. We truly believe
that when each and every
individual Rotarian understands
this matter thoroughly and
correctly, there will be few, if any,
who do not participate, even
though the sum may be extremely
modest in amount.
Arch Klumph, 1928
