50th Anniversary
When the North CS Rotary Club was founded 50 years ago, its first meeting place was the Hackney House on Fillmore, which later became the Ground Round and now is known as the Omelette Parlor.
As part of the Club's celebration of its 50 years of service to the community, club representatives visited the Omelette Parlor on December 1 and presented its owner, Pat Hause, with a framed certificate. The document, which will hang on the wall at the eatery, tells the history of the Club and lists the location as the organization's original weekly meeting place.
