HISTORY OF CANNOCK ROTARY CLUB
in 1986
Chartered: 1936
RI Club ID: 19964
There is a saying that a Nation which has no History has no future,
and this must be equally true of Rotary.
Fifty years ago, the lamp of Fellowship and Service was first lit in this area and it has been carefully tended ever since. Now the lamp is in our hands and by its light we can clearly see our duty. It is for us to pass on the ideals to a generation still to come.
Now, turn the page, turn back the clock and re-start it.
Here are Minutes that must never be "taken as read".
MICHAEL A. SUTTON
President (1985/86)
