11th Anniversary, 1935

Eleventh Anniversary of the Hampton Rotary Club, Hampton, Iowa. Wednesday, May 8th, 1935 at 8:00 p.m.

The members of the Hampton Rotary Club, and their Rotary Anns are tonight celebrating the eleventh anniversary of the club with an inter-city meeting with the members of Eldora, Iowa Falls, Ackley and Clarion clubs and their Rotary Anns at the Hotel Coonley ball room. The Hampton Rotary Club has an unusual record in many ways, but one that is most outstanding is the record of continuous membership since the initiation of the club in May 1924. Of the original sixteen charter members, twelve are still active members of the club. Two of the charter members have moved out of the city. The club now has the largest membership in its history, there being forty members at present. Thru the so-called "depression" Hampton maintained its membership, and even increased it somewhat. Classifications have been held to strictly.

Dr. Joe C. Powers was the first president of the Hampton Rotary Club, and the others in the order which they served were as follows:
Walter T. Robinson
Tom W. Purcell
Gareld Leming
Dr. Walter K. Long
S.J. Galvin
Earl Ferris
Morris M. McNie
Herb E. Boehmler
Dallas M. Harrison
Arthur E. Rankin (serving now)
