Lethbridge Rotary Club preparing to celebrate 100 years in the community
LETHBRIDGE – 2018 will mark 100 years for the Lethbridge Rotary Club in the city, and members and organizers are getting ready for that celebration.
Pat Killoran, Chair of the Rotary 100th Anniversary Committee, says there’s not many organizations in the city that can say they’ve been here for 100 years.
“Some were here 100 years ago, and some are here now, but say that we were here at both points in time is quite an accomplishment for the Rotary Club and Lethbridge. Over that time, there’s been a lot of service projects completed both in the city and around the world,” Killoran said.
The local Rotary story began in 1918 when meetings were originally held at the Lethbridge YMCA, and then moved to the Marquis Hotel.
