Milnes Frank Treat i I Q ' ........... {( ocwic€ Sergeant-at-Arms . �Ww’ | I i ——COLDWAT s I | I I II I j ■ I History of The Club | I E IDEA of forming a Rotary Club in Coldwater came into the minds of several people at several different times before the actual establishment of the club. Dame rumor has it that at least three different attempts were made and that various stages of progress were reached. However, in view of the fact that but two or three of the Charter Members of the Coldwater Rotary Club as organized and chartered as of December 1st, 1921, were previously approached or have any knowledge of the earlier history of the movement, it is probable that no authentic data will ever be secured covering this period of time. Consulting the files of the general office of Rotary Interna­ tional in Chicago, we find that on January 8th, 1920, Hugh VandeWalker of Ypsilanti, who at that time was Governor of the ninth district of Rotary clubs, took up with headquarters the question of establishing a Rotary club in Coldwater. At his request, on January 15 th, Harrison Fletcher was named as chairman of the organizing committee, and on January 27th, Fred L. Gallop of Ypsilanti, as Special Representative. The records at headquarters are silent as to what immediately followed, but from members who were approached at that time, it is authoritatively established that Mr. Fletcher made an active cam­ paign to establish a club and that considerable progress was made. Report has it that fifteen Charter Members were selected, when, without much warning, the project was suddenly declared dead. Again we fall back on rumor, although it seems pretty clearly established that the sudden demise of the club at this stage was ,due to the objections of one man, who not understanding the theory, ideas or ethics of Rotary and being unwilling to study or learn them, believed most honestly, we think, that Rotary would �r---------------------- —COLDWATER ROTARY C.T.UR. interfere with such organizations as were already established in Coldwater and create an ill feeling. He prevailed on the interested parties to cease their activities. Hugh VandeWalker’s term as District Governor came to an end in July of 1920, and Ray Davis of St. Joseph, became Governor. At his request, Eddie Duesenberg of Kalamazoo, was appointed special representative for Coldwater. From the records at head­ quarters it appears that Mr. Fletcher still held his appointment as chairman of the organizing committee. Mr. Duesenberg never reported any progress to headquarters. In February of 1921, Frank Rowe came to Coldwater from South Bend, Indiana. He was in the employ of Armour & Company as Special Representative for that company, with a considerable territory under his charge. Frank had been a worker in South Bend in Church Classes, Boys Work and other jobs where service without visible reward is the rule. He had been the guest of his manager, Frank Eby, of the South Bend Rotary Club, at several Rotary lunch­ eons and had become extremely interested in Rotary. On coming to Coldwater, and finding he was eligible to mem­ bership, he set about canvassing the field with a view to organizing a Rotary Club. He did this quietly, meeting some rebuffs and con­ siderable interest. Finally, some time in the summer he had a long ta'k with Charles Rufus Osborn, then minister of the Baptist church, who advised Frank to talk with three men, one of wiom was Fred Chambers. Before doing this, however, Frank, feeling pretty sure of his ground, wrote Secretary General Chesley Perry in Chicago, asking about the prospect of establishing a Rotary Club in Coldwater. On the 6th day of October, Frank received word from Chicago that they were pleased to note a desire for a Rotary club in Cold­ water, and that his letter had been referred to George Barnes of Flint, who had become District Governor the previous July. George Barnes immediately got into communication with Frank and from that time on the work of organization went forward rapidly. On October 15th the appointments of Harrison Fletcher as Chairman of the Organizing Committee, and of Eddie Duesenberg as Special Representative, which had never been recalled, were ter­ minated by authority. On the same day, George Lyons of Hillsdale, �■COLDWATER O? R was appointed by Governor George Barnes as his Special Repre­ sentative, and on the 24th of October, Frank Rowe was named as chairman of the organizing committee. Frank then called on Fred Chambers, and these two men kicked as the three other members of the committee O’Neill Carroll, Herbert Sloman and Hugh Clarke. These five men met with George Lyons and the other Directors of the Hillsdale Club at the home of Mr. Chambers and planned the forming of a Club. A second meet­ ing, a couple of days later, resulted in the selection of the Charter Membership list and within a few days twenty men were signed up. On Thursday evening, November I Oth, twenty of these twenty-two—the other two being out of town—met at the Arling­ ton Hotel for dinner. President George Lyons of the Hillsdale Club, and twenty-nine of his club were present. George presided at the meeting and under his guidance a temporary organization was ef­ fected, with Frank Rowe as temporary chairman and Hugh Clarke as temporary secretary. It was voted to hold a meeting for per­ manent organization a week from the next Friday night. Accordingly on the evenmg of November 18th, the new Club, together with thirty-seven Rotarians from Angola, eleven from Adrian, ten from Sturgis, four from Hillsdale, and three from Battle Creek, met at the St. Mark s Parish House. Frank Rowe and George Lyons presided and the temporary organization was made perma­ nent, with the adoption of the standard Rotary Constitution and By-Laws and the election of a Board of Directors—Frank, Rowe, Fred Chambers, O’Neill Carroll, Herbert Sloman, Harry Lansing, Rollo Thompson and Hugh Clarke were named directors. Application was also made for a charter from Rotary Interna­ tional. The Board of Directors organized by electing Frank Rowe, President; 0 Neill Carroll, Vice-President; Rollo Thompson, Treas­ urer, and Hugh Clarke, Secretary. The two final acts in the organization of the Coldwater Rotary Club came on December 12th, 1921, and on the evening of January 5th. On the first date, the charter of the Coldwater Club, num­ ber 1044, was granted by the Board of Directors of the Interna­ tional Association of Rotary Clubs. On the last named date Gover­ nor George Barnes of Flint, was present with us and in an address which will always be remembered by those who heard it, presented the Club with its Charter.

' f) » �=—^COLDWATER |^| ROTARY CLUB— ■ A Message From President Frank HE MORE I see of Rotary at work, the more I realize how it influences men in their daily life. One has seen in the past so many good men living for themselves alone; not knowing the beauty and widespread influence in the Rotary Spirit. Finally, however, Rotary caihe into this community, and finally into their lives, and they began to live anew, transforming a seemingly selfish life mto one of usefulness. Nothing is more helpful in any commu­ nity than to see a group of business and professional men lending their efforts unto a spirit of ‘‘Service.” Time was when the busmess man was looked upon with an eye of suspicion. Now the Spirit of Service has gripped the busi­ ness and professional men and they now stand as the leaders of any community. Our own club is no exception. Rotary has chosen men from so many classifications that hidden talent, hitherto unknown, has blossomed and bloomed into real fruitage. It is needless for me to recount the many instances where this is a fact in our club. A glance at any undertaking is sufficient proof to you. It would be idealistic,to predict the future life and activities of Rotary in Coldwater, but I know Rotary, and you, and what is good for you and what is good for Rotary will be good for our city and community. Let us extend Rotary to our community, our relations to our rural brother should be cultivated and made a reality. Service is our watchword and the community that now pros­ pers, will be budded on “Service,” therefore, be of “Service,” for ie “profits most, who serves best.” o er vice ��COLDWATER ROTARY CLUB “Service Above Self” Let It Carry On Through The Ages. oervice l( Q �ROTARY —COLDWATER _____s W Brief History of Rotary OTARY came into being” with a group of four Chicago business men, each representing a different calling. One a ------ coal dealer, one a mining operator, one a merchant tailor, and the fourth an attorney. To the attorney, Paul P. Harris, belongs the credit for the con­ ception of the club which has grown from the first meeting in Chi­ cago on February 23rd, 1905, until this year, on the 18th anniver­ sary, it has attained the marvelous growth of over 1,325 clubs, with a membership of over 90,000 m twenty-seven countries of the world. It was Paul Harns idea the club should be unique among clubs; that it should promote friendship and understanding, knowledge and broad mindedness, and an interest in the other fellow and mutual helpfulness; and that only one man from each line of business or profession should be admitted to membership. The first meeting was held on the evening of February 23rd, in the Unity building, on Dearborn street. Chicago. The name ‘‘Rotary” was chosen for the club because of the custom of having the meeting in rotation at the places of business of the different members, where each member acted as host and after the luncheon exhibited his office, shop or place of business and explained his business to the other members. As time went on and the membership increased it was found impracticable to hold the weekly meetings in their business places and it was not long be­ fore the meetings were held in the various hotels and restaurants of Chicago. The growth of Rotary during the past eighteen years has been marvelous and it is still growing by leaps and bounds. Rotary is in a class by itself—it is unlike any other organization in the world. It draws men together in one great bond of fellowship. It is impossi­ R 1I I I I �——COLDWATER ROTARY CLUB ble for any one person or any one business to dominate in Rotary. Each member is benefited by his membership, which tends to lift him to a higher plane and out of his business rut and routine. The Rotary creed is fully set forth in the “Rotary Platform” and in the “Rotary Code of Ethics.” Every Rotary club demands fair dealings, honest methods and high standard in business, amplify­ ing the Rotary Slogan, ‘‘Service above self—he profits most who serves best.” The Rotary club has one rule which must never be violated. This is the rule in regard to attendance, whereby a member who is absent four meetings in succession is dropped from the club. A care­ ful record is kept by every club secretary and nothing short of sick­ ness or death can excuse a member. The general policy which Rotary invariably follows with re­ gard to community service is that the club or any combination of Rotary clubs does not undertake to carry through any enterprise for the doing of which there already exists some other organization, but lends itself, either as a club, or more often and more particularly through its individual members, to the organization interested in the project. Where no organization exists the Rotary Club usually either adopts the plan of organizing an agency or during an emer­ gency the Rotary Club carries on the project until some other organ­ ization is formed for the purpose. New Rotary history was created on the night of Friday, Febru­ ary 23rd, the 18th anniversary, when Raymond M. Havens, inter­ national president of Rotary, broadcasted his address throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico to hundreds of clubs. Through the co-operation of the broadcasting stations of the country who agreed to leave the air free for this experiment and with the aid of powerful stations in different sections, the address was heard with great clearness wherever the atmospheric conditions permitted. Do not be afraid of criticism. Criticise yourself often. Handle the hardest job first each day. Easy ones are pleasures. Be fair and do at least one decent act each day. �.COLDWATER S® ROTARY CLUB— w Rotary Code of Ethics Adopted by the Sixth Annual Convention of the International Association of Rotary Clubs at San Francisco, California, July Nineteenth to Twenty-third, Nineteen Hundred and Fifteen.

In view of this, it is my duty as a Rotarian— ] st—To consider my vocation worthy, and as affording me distinct opportunity to serve society. 2nd—To improve myself, increase my efficiency and enlarge my service, and by so doing attest my faith in the fundamental principle of Rotary, that he profits most who serves best.. 3r(j_To realize that I am a business man and ambitious to succeed; but that I am first an ethical man, and wish no success that is not founded on the highest justice and morality. 4th—To hold that the exchange of my goods, my service and my ideas for profit is legitimate and ethical, provided that all parties to the exchange are benefited thereby. 5th—To use my best endeavors to elevate the standards of the vocation in which I am engaged, and so to conduct my affairs that others in my vocation may find it wise, profitable and conducive to happiness to emulate my example. 5th—To conduct my business in such a manner that I may give a perfect service equal to or even better than my competitor, and when in doubt to give added service beyond the strict measure of debt or obligation. c 1 ” — h Service —---------- — �COLDWATER ROTARY CLUB^ 7th—To understand that one of the greatest assets of a professional or of a business man is his friends and that any advantage gained by reason of friendship is eminently ethical and proper. 8th—To hold that true friends demand nothing of one another and that any abuse of the confidence of friendship for profit is foreign to the spirit of Rotary, and in violation of its Code of Ethics. 9th—To consider no personal success legitimate or ethical which is secured by taking unfair advantage of certain opportunities in the social order that are absolutely denied others, nor will I take advantage of opportunities to achieve material suc­ cess that others will not take because of the questionable mor­ ality involved. I Oth—To be not more obligated to a Brother Rotarian than I am to every other man in human society; because the genius of Rotary is not in its competition, but in its co-operation; for provincialism can never have a place in an institution like Rotary, and Rotarians assert that Human Rights are not confined to Rotary Clubs, but are as deep and as broad as the race itself; and for these high purposes does Rotary exist to educate all men and all institutions. II th-Finally, believing in the universality of the Golden Rule, “All things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them,” we contend that Society best holds together when equal opportunity is accorded all men in the natural resources of this planet. ‘Tor the world is a mirror of king and slave; It’s just what we are, and do. So give to the world the BEST you have, And the BEST will come back to you! ” �y■ f — COLDWATER 7 ROTARY CLUB— Club Red Letter Days January 5, 1922—Charter presented by Governor George Barnes.

Guest. | I Red roses for the living, and handclasps warm and true, A heart that’s tuned to giving, and strength to dare and do; The sound of honest laughter, the joy of honest toil; For those that follow after, to leave a finer soil. All this has been and ever will be the Rotary plan, A man’s sincere endeavor to serve his fellow-man. ■ A little less self-seeking, a little more for men, Less bitter in our speaking, more kindly with the pen; A little, less of swerving from paths of truth and right, A little more of serving and less of dollar might. More peaceful with our neighbors, and stauncher to our friends, For this all Rotary labors, on this its hope depends. To smooth the way for others, to make of life the most; To make the phrase “our brothers’’ mean more than idle boast; To praise sincere endeavor, when praise will spur it on, Withholding kind words never until the friend is gone; This is the Rotary spirit, this is the Rotary dream, God grant that we may near it, before we cross the stream. i i it Q • >> Service ———------------------ —J J �COLDWATER ®| ROTARY CLUB.

Sec. 6. Honorary membership shall endure for life, provided however, that the board of directors may for good cause at any time cancel the membership of an honorary member on condition that each member of the club shall be served in writing with a notice at least ten days in ad­ vance of such action by the board.

My business standards shall have in them a note of sympathy for our common humanity. My bus­ iness dealings, ambitions and relations shall always cause me to take into consideration my highest duties as a member of society. In every position in bus­ iness life, in every responsibility that comes before me, my chief thought shall be to fill that responsi­ bility and discharge that duty so when I have ended each of them I shall have lifted the level of human ideals and achievements a little higher’ than I found it. As a Rotarian it is my duty: FIRST: To consider my vocation worthy, and as affording me distinct opportunity to serve society. SECOND: To improve myself, increase my effici­ ency and enlarge my service, and by so doing attest my faith in the fundamental principle of Rotary that he profits most who serves best. THIRD: To realize that I am a business man and ambitious to succeed; but that I am first an ethical man, and wish no success that is not founded on the highest justice and morality. FOURTH: To hold that the exchange of my goods, my service and my ideas for profit is legitimate and ethical, provided that all parties in the exchange are benefited thereby. FIFTH: To use my best endeavors to elevate the standards of the vocation in which I am engaged, and so to conduct my affairs that others in my vocation may find jt wise, profitable and con­ ducive to happiness to emulate my example. �SIXTH: To conduct my business in such a manner that I may give a perfect service equal to or even better than my competitor, and when in doubt to give added service beyond the strict measure of debt or obligation. SEVENTH: To understand-that one of the greatest assets of a professional or of a business man is his friends and that any advantage gained by reason of friendship is eminently ethical and proper. EIGHTH: To hold that true friends demand nothing of one another and that any abuse of the confidences of friendship for profit is foreign to the spirit of Rotary, and in violation of its Code of Ethics. NINTH: To consider no personal success legitimate or ethical which is secured by taking unfair advantage of certain opportunities in the social order that are absolutely denied others, nor will I take advantage of opportunities to achieve material success that others will not take because of the questionable morality involved. TENTH: To be not more obligated to a Brother Rotarian than I am to every other man in human society; because the genius of Rotary is not in its competition but in its co-operation; for provincial­ ism can never have a place in an institution like Rotary, and Rotarians assert that Human Rights are not confined to Rotary Clubs but are as deep and as broad as the race itself; and for these high purposes does Rotary exist to educate all men and all institutions. ELEVENTH: Finally, believing in the universality of the Golden Rule, AU things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them, we contend that Society best holds together when equal opportunity is accorded all men in the natural resources of this planet. �THE ROTARY PLATFORM Recognizing the commercial basis of modern life as a necessary incident in human evolution, the. Rotary Club is organized to express that proper relation between private interests and the fusion of private interests which constitutes ■ society. To accomplish this purpose more effectively the prin­ ciple of limited and representative membership has been adopted, the Rotary Club consisting of one representative from each distinct line of business or profession. Each mem­ ber is benefited by contact with representative men engaged in different occupations and is enabled thereby to meet more intelligently the responsibilities of civic and business life. The basis of club membership insures the representation of all interests and the domination of none in the considera­ tion of public questions relating to business. On account of its limited membership the Rotary Club does not constitute itself the voice of the entire-community on questions of general importance, but its action on such questions is of great influence in advancing the civic and business welfare of the community. □ “ i I », The Rotar^Club demands fair dealings, honest methods and high standards in business. No obligation, actual or implied, to influence business exists in Rotary. Election to membership therein is. an expression of confidence of the club in the member elected, and of its good will towards him. As his business is an expression of himself, he is expected actively to represent it. • : ' ■ ..... ... .. :.. :;. Membership in the Rotary Club is a privilege and an opportunity and its responsibility, demands honest and efficient service and thoughtfulness, for one’s fellows. Service is. the basis of all business. He profits most who serves best. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Individuals are not members of Rotary In­ ternational. The Club is a member of Rotary International. 2. Rotary International has through its Con­ stitution and By-Laws made certain provisions that concern individual members of its clubs. (a)—Termination of individual membership. NON-PAYMENT OF DUES Any member failing to pay his dues within thirty days after the prescribed time shall be notified in writing by the secretary at his last known address, and if said dues are not paid on or before ten days from date of such notification said membership shall automatically ter­ minate. Such former member, at the discretion of the Board, may be reinstated to member­ ship upon his petition, and upon the pay­ ment of all indebtedness to the club, pro­ vided his former classification has not been filled meanwhile by the election of a new member. NON-ATTENDANCE The membership of any active or past service member who is absent from four consecutive meetings of this club shall automatically terminate, unless such ab­ sence is made up, or he is excused by the Board of Directors. 19 �Membership whose percentage of attend­ ance is less than sixty per cent during the first or second six months' period of the club's fiscal year shall automatically ter­ minate, unless he is excused by the Board of Directors for good and sufficient reasons. Absence at a regular meeting may be made up by the attendance at any other Rotary Club on any of the six days im­ mediately preceding the day of absence, on the day of absence itself, or on any of the six days immediately following the day of absence provided notice of such attendance is given to this club. When planning out of town trips please consult your Secretary for clubs where you may make up your attendance. 20 �FORMER DISTRICT GOVERNORS Active in the District Fred Sheriff, Battle Creek, Michigan J.
