Until 1989, the Constitution and By-laws of Rotary International stated that Rotary club membership was for males only. In 1978 the Rotary Club of Duarte, California, invited three women to become members. The R.I. board withdrew the charter of that club for violation of the R.I. Constitution. The club brought suit against R.I. claiming a violation of a state civil rights law which prevents discrimination of any form in business establishments or public accommodations. The appeals court and the California Supreme Court supported the Duarte position that Rotary could not remove the club's charter merely for inducting women into the club. The United States Supreme Court upheld the California court indicating that Rotary clubs do have a "business purpose" and is in some ways public-type organizations. This action therefore allowed women to become Rotarians in any jurisdiction having similar "public accommodation" statutes. The R.l. constitutional change was made at the 1989 Council on Legislation, with a vote to eliminate the "male only" provision for all of Rotary. Since that time, women have become members and leaders of clubs and districts throughout the world.

-"On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only
nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does."
-"This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as
when the baby gets hold of a hammer. "
-"The income tax has made more liars out of the American people than golf has. "
-"I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. "
-The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.
-Political elections are a good deal like marriages, there's no accounting for anyone's taste.
-This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it. That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation.
