1916 – The First Days of the Rotary Club of Ann Arbor

Our club was chartered on October 1, 1916 so none of us today know the full story on how we came to be the 252nd club in Rotary. Fortunately, a document assembled in 1947 recounted the history of the club from its inception to that point. Combining the account of our formation with some historical facts and sprinkling in some modern humor, we were able to put together a skit to celebrate our centennial in 2016. The performance was reprised on October 11, 2023 and recorded for the education and amusement of subsequent viewers.
