In less than 18 months, the Faribault Rotary Club will celebrate its 100-year anniversary on May 1, 2020. This week’s historical highlight is from 1947.
There a was a program on the history of the Rice County Historical Society and plans for the restoration of the Faribault House, recently purchased by the society with a gift from Guerdon Allen.
There were programs featuring demonstrations by students of the Braille School and Deaf School.
Howard M. Quigley District Governor 1944-45 from Olathe Kansas, moves to Faribault and joins the club and was a member until 1966. (So, Rod knew him!)
Our club’s 27th president in 1946-47 was John C. Lysen who was also District Governor in 1954-55.
He was a member from 1934-65 so Rod knew him as well.
