From the President President Angus is busy preparing his demotion defense and perhaps preparing some haggis or the like. In his absence, following is part of RI President John Germ’s article in the March 2017 Rotarian – in honor of Women’s History Month as well as the historical moment President Germ refers to. President Germ writes: “Forty years ago, the Rotary Club of Duarte, Calif. admitted three women members, in violation of the Rotary International Constitution. As a result the club’s charter was terminated by RI. Undeterred, the club’s members continued to meet. They put an X over their Rotary insignia, made themselves new pins, and dubbed themselves the Ex-Rotary Club of Duarte as they continued to fight for the right of women to serve as Rotarians. … Not long after that,

in 1989, Rotary’s Council on Legislation permanently ended Rotary’s status as a men-only organization. [Editor’s note: in the U.S., women began officially joining Rotary clubs in 1987, which was the year the first women joined Niles Rotary. The first woman in Niles Rotary was banker Caren Hand, followed later in 1987 by Nancy Farber and Sandi Pantages]. Today, with more than 240,000 women in our clubs, Rotary is stronger than ever. … At the club level, we need men and women of all backgrounds, ages, cultures, and professions … The better our clubs reflect our communities, the better we can serve them.
