The Richmond Rotary Club received its charter on April 12, 1962 - 59 years ago today! Three months later, on June 22, 1962, there was the 1st Installation of Officers.
Carlo Hansen was the first charter President, with the first meeting held in the Skyline Hotel, at No. 3 and Sea Island Way. At that charter meeting, regalia were provided by club's from Chilliwack, Mission, New Westminster, Ladner, Marpole, Burnaby and Vancouver, to help get us started.

After originally meeting at the Skyline Hotel, meetings then moved to the Airport Inn, and then King Wah Restaurant, and back to the Skyline Hotel.
Later on, meetings then moved to the Richmond Inn where we stayed from 1975 until June 1984, and then the Richmond Golf and Country Club. In more recent years, meetings then moved from the Radisson Hotel, to the Abercorn Hotel and finally the Four Points by Sheraton Vancouver Airport.
