The Rotary Club had its first local meeting at Culbertson’s on April 1, 1947 with 20 men. Rudy Ruedlinger was elected President and C.L. Hurd Vice President. Harry D. Harper served as Secretary/Treasurer, and L.T. Bjorklund was chosen Sergeant-at-Arms. Hurd later served as District Governor in 1952-53, and became known as "Mr. Rotary."
In the 1950's, Rotary held an annual
"Career and Community Improvement Days." At one time, Hurd Park had the name Rotary attached to it, but in 1990 the club's focus changed to Northside Park, which was later renamed Rotary Northside Park, and the name Rotary was dropped from Hurd Park. Also in 1990, the Club agreed to make five payments of $3,000 for equipment for the park. |
