The 1995-96 year was an active one for Club 32. The Noyes School partnership was continued and Rotarians accompanied Noyes School students to assist them in viewing the Olympic Torch Run, which passed through St. Joseph. Local Student Government Day was held for the first time with Rotarians and the St. Joseph high schools participating.
The Rose project was discontinued and replaced by operation of a booth at the Trails West!® Festival. Contributions to local organizations were $5,660, which was a $2,000 reduction from previous years.
The St. Joseph Rotary Foundation awarded $4,500 in scholarships to five St. Joseph high school seniors. The Club's nominee, Clarissa Carriger, was awarded a $400 scholarship from District 6030. The Club's nominee, Diana Silver, was the Ambassadorial Scholar for District 6030. She conducted her Ambassadorial studies in Ireland.
Club #32 hosted a Group Study Exchange team from Alsace Lorraine.
The Club hosted Outstanding Career Nursing Assistants day, and visited Pickett School for the annual program with the Othopedically handicapped class. The children showed Club members their classroom and demonstrated the use of the computers and other aids, which help them with their classroom work.
During the year, long time Rotarians Barent Springsted and Wilbur McDonald were lost to death. The District Golf Day was renamed "The Barent Springsted Memorial All Rotary Day". A fund was established to receive memorial gift donations on an annual basis.
The Club By-Laws were amended establish the membership of the Contribution Committee to be chaired by the president-elect, and to include the president, past president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, and one member at large.
