Pueblo, Colorado
[from The Rotarian, July, 1913]
Our Rotary club at the present time is made up of what we call
twenty‑nine live wires. We meet at luncheon every Monday at
noon, with the exception of the third week in the month, when we
take dinner together at one of the local hotels.
Differing from a number of Rotary clubs, these luncheons are
paid for by the members whether they attend or not. This creates
a fund whereby visitors may be entertained at any time at the
expense of the club, without inconveniencing or embarrassing any
individual members or their friends.
It
has been the object of our club to take up matters of special
interest to the community and promote such undertakings and
improvements as we think will materially be to the advantage of
the business interests of this community. We now have in charge
our State Fair, which has been running under a handicap and
which, with the assistance of the Commerce Club, we hope to
place on its feet by fall.
We
have also taken up the matter of additional paving in this city
and we feel that the efforts of this club will greatly aid this
project. Our members are all enthusiastic over the general
outlook of this community, and our organization though small, is
in a very healthy condition. We have had only one resignation
from the club since its organization and it is our endeavor to
hold the membership to a high standard.
