(The club was reinstated in September 1986.) 1987: On 4 May, the U.S. Supreme Court rules that Rotary clubs may not exclude women from membership on the basis of gender. Rotary issues a policy statement that any Rotary club in the United States can admit qualified women into membership.

Sylvia Whitlock, of the Rotary Club of Duarte, California, becomes the first female Rotary club president. - taken from Rotary International website on the History of Women in Rotary |
