Donald Adams, New Haven, Connecticut

 
The 1926 Convention traveled to Denver between June 14th and 18th. 8,890 registered for the Convention representing 2,118 Clubs.

Ralph B. Mayo, President of the Rotary Club of Denver welcomed delegates to his city.

Paul Harris was again absent but in his written message to the convention noted that Rotary had reached its majority as it was now 21 years of age.

He went on, "On that night, February 23 1905, scores of larger and more impressive meetings were being held throughout the city of Chicago. Numbers have little significance and so has mere size. The acorn is not impressive but it has a wondrous story of magic growth and strength locked within its modest shell".		 "The scores of meetings which were held within the city of Chicago that night adjourned, leaving little of special interest for history."

"Rotary is coming, not going; that this is the glad morning, not the sad evening of Rotary".

The Rotary Endowment Fund had now reached  $1,715 in cash.
