BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT'S
Rotary Club of Brookings, Ore. Had Two
Distinctions As It Was First Chartered
OF SOUTHWESTERN OREGON
Ì Don't W anna Get Well
Perhaps one of the first moves on the part of local bus­
iness men to make Brookings noted the world over, was
the formation of a Rotary club in Brook-1
in March of 1947. I he charter was granted '
<ni May 14, of that year by Rotary Inter­
nal.on. 1. r o n «1 ch hter night was held on
June 21 of that year, when members of
many clubs of the distrist present tor the occaion. Note­
worthy, especially at that time was the decorations which
featured the I roft lilies, and which the visitors grabbed
with much gusto after the program.
Brookings club, at that time held two distinctions: It
was the mod westerly club in the United States and the
only one in an unincorporated town, ('bartering of the
Shady Cove club roblxrd Brookings of that distinction
and when Brookings sponsored Gold Beach club, it lost
the distinction o. being the most westerly club. Port O r­
ford is the only possible town which could rob (¡ok
Beach of that distinction at present.
In its sixth year, the Brookings Rotary club boasts of
42 active members at present. Meeting date is Tuesday
noon at the Chetco Inn, Brookings
