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.
