Centennial Year Report

 
Centennial Year-End Report
The meeting on Wednesday, February 26, 2014, was the perfect date and occasion to mark the close of the many Centennial year activities.  It was exactly the same day (February 26) in 1914 when the Rotary Club of Beaumont must have celebrated the first completed year of Rotary service in the Beaumont area.  What a year that must have been, and what a year we had!
We used the occasion as the ideal opportunity to hear a report on the Centennial year of achievements by Centennial President Becky Mason. She reported on the international project completed: a water well in Nicaragua. She helped us recognize the "Family of Rotary" and 3 families that boast 100 years of membership in the Club: Dollinger, Edwards, and Lamb.

Moreover, she expressed the club's appreciation to those who helped with the Beaumont Rotary Centennial Playground project, most especially Mason Construction and area individuals and businesses, the 175+ volunteers who give 2000+ hours of Service Above Self to create a wonderful gift for the city and area citizens. She reported the contributions totaled over $405,000!   The Playground value = priceless!
