1987.2008 Newsletter

print this page

Newsletters from 1987 - November 2008

This section is reserved for the really old newsletters from the time the club was started in July 1987.  This is when the newsletters were typed on a typewriter, photocopied and mailed to members.  Then they were finally typed on computers, printed and mailed.  As there was a lot of time involved to do the newsletter, we were always getting the previous weeks meeting notes a week late. Then on November 11, 2008, we had our first newsletter acutally typed and posted on this website all via a computer!  This resulted in members that could not make the meeting, being able to find out what took place the same day of the meeting by checking here.  There are very few times that it is not posted the same day as the meeting!  This is much easier, I know as I was there in 1987!  1987 was the first year women were allowed to join Rotary in the United States.  See the newspaper article at the bottom of this page about our club.

Please bear with me as I am pulling my copies of the old newsletters from my attic, scanning and then posting them to this page on the club website.  Unfortunately, they will not be done in year order but will be posted as I come across them in my attic.  To save time, I will not be scanning the newsletter covers every week unless the club information or sponsor ads change or the postage goes up!  To access these newsletters as they appear, you will have to click on each one and it will open as a pdf file.

Posted March 13, 2018 - Marie Williams, only charter member left!

NOTE:  Starting May 1, 1990, a new format was introduced so the reporting about what took place at a meeting was always a week behind.  The first page you see will state one week but the next page gives the information about the previous week's meeting.  I have posted them according to what meeting week was being reported on!
