"Nice to be reminded of the things of historical value, and I learn something new to talk about with potential new members."

The first 50 years
The "First Fifty" years, celebrated at Chicago, February 23, 1955

The Golden Jubilee of Rotary

February, 23 1955
The stamps and post cards are part of a major collection owned by our historian Wolfgang Ziegler of Germany. It is noteworthy to see how many countries of the world, at least the ones we've been able to find, were forward in their creating of and promotion of Rotary stamps to celebrate the Golden Anniversary of this great organization in 1955.
