Rotary spread to Poland this year making thirty-five hundred clubs throughout the world. This was the year that "Certain groups within our Club look with disfavor on International relationship matters and subjects that have to do with peace movements and disarmaments." The District Conference was at Michigan City in May, and in this same month the Club held its fifteenth anniversary banquet at Lincoln Lodge. Special guests of the Club were its Honorary members, Dr. Edward C. Elliott, Dean Stanley Coulter, Dr. David E. Ross and Dr. D. L. Ross; Presidents of the Crawfordsville and Frankfort Clubs; District Governor William Hodges; and the Presidents of eight of the luncheon and civic clubs of Lafayette. President Dickinson introduced Dr. L. M. Ellis, Dean Stanley Coulter and Nelson Kellogg as speakers of the evening. There were several "dinners of soup" during the winter, with the difference given to the unemployed. Frank M. Cary was elected an Honorary member. Steve Hannigan spoke at a very fine meeting, and another time John Scott, charter member of the New York Club, gave a most interesting travel talk, "A Visit to Britain." Often during the year contributions were taken for the unemployed, for French relief, for further equipment at the Cary home and to help a young boy finish his school year. The Club cooperated with the Tuberculosis Association in the Fresh Air Camp at Rotary Park. They sent a champion high school drummer boy to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and a delegate to the Cleveland Crippled Children's Conference. There was the regular Easter egg Hunt for the youngsters; and a combined Ladies Night and Installation of Officers was held at Lincoln Lodge. |
