Recently I came across Club Historical Documents as gathered by DG Bernie Carriere during his tenure 2007-2008.
 
The information was so enjoyable and intriguing that immediately I thought others would like to have access to it as well, so I set about scanning it to PDF files and have made it available online through the District Website; www.Rotary5360.ca / About Rotary /  Documents and Forms / District Documents - use your regular ClubRunner Username and Password to gain access.  
 
Most surprising was to see how old some of the clubs were, figuring that some had not reached a substantial age yet: Lethbridge and Medicine Hat are both set to celebrate their Centenary in 2018! Swift Current will celebrate in 2020, Red Deer in 2023 and Banff, Stettler and Drumheller in 2024.  The 1950s brought the next wave of clubs with 7 clubs starting up.
While the paperwork hasn't changed much over the years, the style of writing and the move to typewriters is interesting to see.  The e-files will be stored in two places for archival purposes and the hard copies retained in storage as well. If this list is incomplete, and your Club's Charter information is missing, please send to my attention for inclusion.
