Forward to the 2004 History
This is the 8 edition of what we have called the yearbook of the Rotary Club of College •
Station. I have had the good fortune to be involved with each edition of this document. It is my •
hope that the information provided is both entertaining and useful. I happen to believe it is •
important to have a sense of what has gone on before us in order to make good judgements about •
the future. I have changed the format only slightly for this issue. The yearly goals, budget and •
the personal profiles were left out in the last issue and I have not included them in this issue. I
have not included telephone numbers etc in the roster in this issue since they change so fast •
between issues. I have added a section on Club District and National Awards and one on the •
participation of our members in District Activities. This information was gathered from District •
sources and therefore I may have missed some of your participation. Special thanks should be
given to Jim Simpson of the Bryan Rotary Club who provided me with old district directories •
where some of the information was found. Would you please report any activities that I have •
missed to me so they can be included in the next issue. •
You should understand that the yearly history has been provided by the past presidents at •
my hounding. I have not attempted to change the format or content that they have provided. •
There are places in the history that names have been left out. I have made attempts to keep up
with winners of awards and other historical events but have not always been at the meeting •
where the event was announced, the person in charge of the event has left the club without •
leaving a record of that event, or something goes on and it does not get reported to the club as a •
whole. If you find some of these mistakes in this document, would you please bring them to my
attention for future editions. I would encourage future bulletin editors to put the names of •
winners of awards, scholarships, club awards etc. in the regular weekly bulletin and also to the •
chairmen of activities to send copies of the winners to the president, secretary, bulletin editor or •
historian so the record could be preserved accurately.
•
It is my hope that you will enjoy reading about and keeping up with the growth of our •
Rotary Club. It has been an enjoyable 22 years since we started this club. The strong leadership
of this club has resulted in our accomplishing many good things for this community and the •
world but remember that there is no limit to what we could do if we just put the effort and mind •
to it. Enjoy reading this just one half as much as I enjoy putting it together and I will consider •
the effort worth while. •
Yours in Rotary, •
David K. Chester •

HISTORY •
ROTARY CLUB OF COLLEGE STATION .
Sometime during late 1981, the Bryan Rotary Club decided to start a new 41 club in the Bryan - College Station area. A new club Extension Committee was
selected consisting of the following members: •
Clare Gunn, Chairman; Auston Kerley; Bob Holms; John Hill; Les Reid;
Howard Cargill; Howard Richie; and Dick Potts. •
These men spent many hours organizing the club, identifying prospective •
members, and informing prospective members about Rotary. Their dedication to •
Rotary and the new club provided a strong foundation for it's future.
The first introductory meeting of the new club was held on February 4, •
1982 in the home of Les Reid. Six prospective members were present, and a
decision was made to establish a Provisional Rotary Club. The next meeting .
was held at Johnson Elementary School on March 11. Additional prospective
members were present and the decision was made to conduct regular meetings at •
6:45 am on Thursday mornings at the Ramada Inn (now the University Towers).
Regular meetings of the provisional club began on March 18, 1982, and •
discussions centered around Rotary information, dues, initiation fee, •
constitution, by -laws, name for the club, and prospective new members. At
this meeting, the annual dues were set at $80.00 with an initiation fee of •
$25.00. The name "Bryan- College Station Rotary Club" was approved as the
official name at the March 25th meeting. The officers and directors were •
selected at the April 1, 1982 meeting. Ray Slaydon was elected as the Club's
First President and the constitution and by -laws were approved. Subsequent •
meetings centered around recruitment of new members and meeting the
qualifications for official charter approval by Rotary International. •
The Bryan - College Station Rotary Club was officially chartered on June •
14, 1982 at a joint recognition dinner with the Bryan Rotary Club. District
Governor Andy Monsour presented the club's official charter into District 591 •
of Rotary International and inducted the following charter members:
Mike Beal Don Boucher Bob Brock Tom Caffall •
Dave Chester Frank Clark Carl George Randy Goldsmith
Jay Goss Wally Groff David Hill Weldon Jordan •
Marty Kammerbeck Don Ladewig Bill Mainord Robert Nelson
Phil Penn Rusty Rush Ray Slaydon Sid Stevens •
John Edd Tucker Bob Waters Bob Wimbish •
1982 -1983 (July 1 - June 30) •
The first official year continued under the direction of President Ray •
Slaydon. A club bulletin began to be published on a monthly basis. Club
meetings were moved to the Aggieland Inn (now Ramada Inn) in August 1982. •
Joyce Slaydon graciously agreed to provide piano music for our meetings in
January 1983. Dues were increased by $30.00 per year in January 1983 with the •
increase going to the Rotary Foundation. This was done so that all members
could participate in the Rotary Foundation Program. The first fund raising
event, an Oyster and Fish Fry, was conducted in March 1983 a the Knights of •
Columbus Hall in Bryan. It was considered a success.

• 1983 -1984 (July 1 - June 30)
41 John Edd Tucker was installed as the Club's second president at the
• installation banquet held in the Kyle Field Press Box. Ray Slaydon was the
recipient of the Club's first Paul Harris Fellow Award at a special Valentine
• dinner in February 1984. The TAMU Women's Choir provided entertainment for
this event. Hubert Porwoll, a Rotary Foundation Scholar from France, was
11 assigned to our club.
• The second annual Oyster and Fish Fry was conducted in March at the
B razos Center. Contributions were made to KAMU -TV ($1,525) Sheltering Arms
. ($1,610), Brazos Beautiful ($200), Galveston Hurricane Relief Fund ($300),
St.Joseph Hospital Life Line ($500), an International Service Project in
• Honduras ($500) and Brazos Valley Museum ($300) during the year. The Club
grew to a membership of 46 by the end of the year.
• 1984 -1985 (July 1 - June 30)
• David Hill was installed as the club's third president at the annual
11 installation banquet held in the Memorial Student Center on the Texas A &M
. Campus. Joyce Slaydon was named the club's first Honorary Member. The
bulletin began to be published on a weekly basis. The annual Seafood
• Spectacular was held in April 1985 at Lamar School in Bryan. An Antique Show
and Sale was conducted in June 1985 at the Aggieland Inn (now Ramada Inn) as
• an additional fund raising project.
Graeme Wren, a Rotary Foundation Scholar from Australia, was assigned to
•
the club. The club established two high school vocational scholarship awards
of $500 each. They are to be presented annually to a graduating vocational
student at Bryan and A &M Consolidated High Schools. The first winners were
• Donald Dylla from Bryan and Vonda Williams from A &M Consolidated. We co-
hosted a Group Study Exchange from India in May 1985.
• A Christmas program was presented by the A &M Consolidated Concert Choir
and the club presented them with a $100 gift. The Aggieland Inn did not
• charge the club for one breakfast in December so that money was donated to the
Eagle Cheer Fund. A Valentine Party was held jointly with the Bryan Club, the

installation banquet held in the Plaza Club. David Chester was named the •
club's third Paul Harris Fellow.
The name of the Bulletin was changed to The Rotary Spoke in October •
1986. A new fund raising project was attempted, namely, a booth at the
Bohemian Fest in College Station's Central Park. It rained the whole weekend •
and we sold enough gumbo to each other to break even on the project. The
major fund raising project was again a Seafood Spectacular held at Lamar
School in April but again rain kept the crowd and profits down.
Contributions of $100 for a local liver transplant patient, $100 to the
Bryan Police for a Police K -9 and $150 to District 591 for a World Community •
Service project to set up a burn clinic in Argentina were made this year. The

installation banquet held in the Plaza Club. The club voted on three issues
early in this Rotary year. They voted in favor of a name change to the Rotary •
Club of College Station, they voted against changing the meeting to noon and
against billing for meals with the dues. The Bulletin name was again changed •
in July to the current name of The Rotary Bits.
A milestone was reached in our Club history when the first three women joined •
our Club on October 1, 1987. They were Joyce Slaydon, Valeen Silvy and Evette
Correa. Another milestone in this Club's history was reached in January when
John Edd Tucker made an appeal for our members to contribute to the Polio Plus
Campaign and the club responded by pledging or giving $17,750 to the program. •
This is remarkable considering we had only 53 members at the time.
A vocational service project for this year was having several of our
members treating their employees to breakfast. Weldon Jordan was named our •
fourth Paul Harris Fellow in October 1987. We helped host a Group Study
Exchange group from Brazil and sponsored David Cooper as a Group Study •
Exchange member from here to Brazil. The vocational scholarship winners named
in May were Juanita Mandujano from Bryan high school and Kristina Woodahl from 10
A &M Consolidated high school. •
Our big fund raising event for this year was Expo '88 which was a Craft
Fair and Flea Market held at the Brazos Valley Pavilion in May. The project •
made over $2,800, most of which went for Polio Plus. We also had a booth at
the Lion's Club sponsored Air Show in April in which we made a little under
$200 but the Lion's Club lost money.
The club membership grew to 60 for the first time by the end of this
year.

11 Two new fund raising projects were held this year. The First Annual
R otary Tennis Tournament was held in April and was considered a great success
• with a net profit of over $1,200. The first week in May we operated a

International Service activities got off to a quick start when Silke
•
Ammer, a 16 year old Rotary Exchange student from Germany, joined the Bob
Wimbish family for three weeks in July. On July 25th Thomas Nielsen, a 17
year old from Denmark arrived for a year of study at A &M Consolidated high

all who attended. A Christmas party was held again this year at the Walden
• Retirement Center with spouses as our guests. A Cajun "Night Before
Christmas" was part of the program presented by Dr. Smith. We contributed
• $100 to the National Heart Association as pay for his performance. A
Valentine day dinner and dance joint meeting with the Bryan Rotary Club at the
•
Briarcrest Country Club rounded out our social events for the year. There was
a large turn out, including the District Governor and his wife Linda, for this

Winner. The first winners were Mark Smith, Bob Neal, Carolyn Sparks and Terry •
Thigpin. Vocational scholarships of $500 each were presented to Randy Wade
Shumway from A &M Consolidated high school and Laura N. Heard from Bryan high •
school in May 1990.
A fall garage sale fund raiser was held with a profit of about $650 plus •
a donation of an equal amount of goods to Goodwill Industries. The
International Service Committee initiated a monthly auction of a service or •
item donated by one of the club members and sold at the meeting. Firewood, a •
birthday party for 10 children, inspection service, pluming service, an air
plane ride, home cooked meals, several cook books, peanut brittle, a will •
preparation and several pounds of popcorn were some of the goods and services
offered for auction which netted several hundred dollars for club activities. •
The big fund raiser for the year was the Second Annual Rotary Tennis
Tournament. This year major sponsors and court sponsors were obtained which •
increased the net income to close to $5,000.
Community service projects conducted were collection of 55 gallon drums •
donated by Baskin Robins, having the College Station Parks and Recreation
department paint them and we affix the Rotary Emblem on them and distribute 4
them in the parks as waste bins. Several members again participated in the •
Brazos Beautiful clean up day. Two separate sections of Rock Prairie Road
were adopted by the club to keep clean. One section is within the City of •
College Station in front of Humana Hospital and the other is the first two
miles of the county road. The club sponsored a crime awareness seminar for •
Senior Citizens in conjunction with the police departments (cost $200). We
cosponsored with the American Red Cross a "Reach Out" program in which 3 cases •
are chosen to be reported in the paper describing families needing assistance
(cost $100). We also supplied members time manning The Salvation Army "pots" •
on one Saturday in December. A club recycling program was initiated. Tom •
Caffall, one of the club charter members, died in October after a long illness
and the club presented a $150 memorial to the family in his honor.
Other community service activities included the sponsorship (cost $200) of two
Interact students to attend the Beaumont Rotary Club's Camp Enterprise. Ten
tickets to the Brazos Valley Symphony Youth Concert were purchased to provide
an opportunity for youth to attend this concert. A donation of $300 was given V)
to Habitat for Humanity to purchase office equipment. Five thousand book
covers with a Rotary message were given to the College Station School District
for use on the student text books (cost approximately $400). Bryan Rotary
provided the same for the Bryan School District.
A major effort by most of the club members during this year was the
cosponsorship along with the Bryan Rotary Club of the District 591 Conference
in April. The conference was considered an outstanding success with 40 of 42
clubs in the district represented and an attendance of over 600 people. We
set the records for this district to shoot at. Clare Gunn was named to the V)
District Hall of Honor and Jeanne Eaton was one of 5 nominated for new
Rotarian of the Year from District 591 at the convention. Our club received a

District RYLA conference next year.
. A major emphasis project was begun this year in December. Thirty -one
underprivileged school age children were hosted by club members on a shopping
• spree for cloths at the J. C. Penney store in the Post Oak Mall. Each child
was allowed to purchase up to $100 worth of cloths. The project cost the club

Our club bulletin won the first place award for medium size clubs for
• the 2nd year in a row. The award was presented at the District Conference at
Dell Lago on Lake Conroe. New member orientation was conducted by our club
• this year. In the past we had done this along with the Bryan club. The Tiger
Interact Club at Consolidated High School was active throughout the year as
well as the Rotaract Club at A &M University which we co- sponsor with the Bryan
• Club.
In the Spring, we had a combined Valentines Day Party at Briarcrest
• Country Club with the Bryan Rotarians. Our Third Annual Tennis Tournament

District 5910 governor Chester Rossi and his wife Rita visited our club •
on October 9th and 10th. The first meeting was held with the Board with 10 discussions centering on our plans for the year. The following morning they
visited our regular meeting with governor Rossi presenting his address. •
The fall brought a welcome surprise for our fund raising through a call
we received from St. Joseph Hospital. They had several years accumulation of •
surplus property needing to be cleaned out of their storage facilities. They
asked us to assist with a sale to help us raise funds. Our club hired several •
individuals to move the items to a vacant warehouse. With the assistance of
Art King (Bryan Rotarian and auctioneer) we organized those items (numerous) 11
into lots for an auction. We were fortunate to realize a net $2,500 for the •
event. In addition, the club members benefitted personally as we worked very
hard "elbow to elbow" organizing the sale. Most members expressed that they •
enjoyed the opportunity to work together outside of our regular meetings.
Thanksgiving came and the club organized a joint meeting with the Bryan •
Club. This was undertaken in order to promote the strong relationship between
our clubs. In addition, we ordinarily do not hold a meeting at Thanksgiving •
due to the fact that it falls on Thursday (our regular meeting day). Comments
were favorable and it's hoped this will become a regular event with each club
hosting on alternating years.
We continued several regular service projects and fund raisers through 11
the year. Those included: •
- road cleanups
- ringing the bell (Salvation Army at Christmas) r '
- Clothing for Kids at Christmas
- Tennis Tournament 40
These events carry on traditions established by our club in previous years.

organization that we could focus on for the next three years. The Stillcreek
Boys Ranch was chosen and a committee appointed to outline a three year
• involvement program with that organization.
We were fortunate to have our nominee, Martha Curtis, selected as member
• of the GSE team sent to Australia in 1993. In addition, we picked up the
visiting Aussie team at the District Conference in Nacogdoches April 18th and
• brought them to Bryan - College Station for a three day taste of Brazos Valley.
Existing College Station Rotary projects and programs that were
•
continued included: clean up of two sections of Rock Prairie Road; provided

• carrying out a number of very successful community service projects under the
leadership of Rich Miller. Financially the Club is in very good condition.
• The following are some highlights of the year. No doubt some truly
significant deeds have gone unidentified. My apologies for memory lapses.
• • At Christmas time this year we purchased school clothing for
thirty -two economically disadvantaged children. The
• implementation of the program this year was in the very capable
hands of Gracie Garza. Our thanks to Gracie.
• A continuing focus project for the vocational development efforts

environments, this year with kind assistance from Nancy Leslie, •
the scholarship went to an individual involved in a regular
university program. The winner of the scholarship is one we can •
be very proud of.
• Another strong project for the Club is to identify those truly •
unsung, rarely identified individuals - -the nursing aids in our
extended care facilities. This year, with invaluable assistance •
of Hugh McElroy and his committee, the Florence Nightingale Award
programs provided three citations and financial awards to nursing 10
aids from local extended care facilities.
• This year the Brazos Valley was the site for a pilot child
immunization and flu shot program to be used throughout Texas. •
The project, called Shots Across Brazos Valley, was ably
represented by Reed Edmundson. The Club put in hour's of effort •
and provided financial support for this worthwhile community
project.
• The Millers hosted a Rotary International youth exchange student
from Mexico. Zuri Reyes was a strong student and delightful
representative of her country. •
• A long -term project, the highway cleanup program, was continued
this year. Several hearty members assembled three times this year •
to clean a couple of miles of Rock Prairie Road. Our gratitude to
Rusty Rush for his efforts and energies in organizing three •
events.
• With efforts of many members of our Club, we participated in
hosting the GSE Team from Japan. One member of the team stayed at •
the home of John Flynn. A special thanks to Charlie Akins also
for providing contact lens to one of the members of the team.
• We continued strong financial and moral support for the local
Interact and Rotaract Clubs.
• This year we sent two A &M Consolidated High School students to
attend the Rotary Youth Leadership Assembly. •
• Jay Goss, with aid of his very capable committee, chose two •
nominees from a pool of excellent candidates for the Rotary
Ambassadorial Scholarship competition. One of our nominees,
Steven Miller, was selected at the District and RI levels, and
because of this quality, he was selected to speak at the District •
Conference.
• One of our most significant and demanding projects is the Annual •
Charity Tennis Tournament. This project is both a fund raiser and
a community service project in that it provides young people with •
a quality tournament activity to build experience. There are too •
many people to acknowledge as contributors to the project, but
certainly the chair, Gary Engelgau deserves a note of great •
appreciation.
• Several members of the Club attended the District 5910 Conference •
in Galveston and brought home our share of honors. The Club
received the Rotary International Presidential Award for balanced •
club achievement, a true indication of the efforts and energies of
the entire club in planning and carrying out a number of
significant projects. The Club won first place for our bulletin •
for a medium size club. Our thanks to the dedication of Doris
Watson for making this award a reality. Gene Clark was nominated
and received the Governor's Role of Fame Award. The only other

New rules from the council on legislation went into effect this Rotary year 41
and we received our first true transfer of a member. Also classifications
were reduced to active and honorary with each classification allowed 5 members
or 10% of the membership which ever is greater. We were able to induct at
least one new member each month and with emphasis on retention we had grew
from 66 members in June to a record 69 members by District convention in May.
Formal orientations continued to be held for each prospective member as the
last step before induction.. This orientation insures that each new Rotarian
understands the obligations and privileges of being a member of the College 41
Station Rotary Club. The orientation also helps us to assimilate the new
Rotarians into Club activities in a timely manner.
We updated our web site to improve access by and presentation to the public
as well as to improve service to the members. We also began work on a full
color brochure to better present ourselves to potential members and to inform

2002 -2003 (July 1 to June 30) •
Craig A. Griffith was installed as the clubs 21 President at the •
Installation Banquet held June 27, 2002 at the Hilton, College Station. PDG •
Merrill Green installed President Griffith, Past President Charles Akins,
President Elect Vic Reid, Vice - President Barbara Emery, Secretary Gene Clark, •
Treasurer Steve Parker, and directors, Hunter Tracht (Vocational Service),
Alice Lehtonen (Club Service), Steve Williams (International Service), and 41
Steve Cox, (Community Service). •
In preparation for the 2003 -2003 Rotary Year Griffith attended Loan Starr
P.E.T.S. and the club officers and directors attended the district assembly •
sponsored by the Cleveland Rotary Club. Under the banner of "Sow the Seeds of •
Love" RI president, Bhichai Rattakul asked all presidents to keep the same
goals of the previous year. The RI President did ask all of us to commit to •
finishing Polio Plus within the next three years. This would require a •
donation from each Rotarian of $50 for each of the next three years. As
P.E.T.S. was concluding, Rotary District 5910 Governor Charda Bronaugh made
separate goals for each club to achieve in membership, participation in an
International program, and advertising each club's accomplishments in the
local media. Assistant District Governor Bob Guagenti said he would make
quarterly trips to each club to assist and guide us toward our club goals.
Club Service - Alice Lehtonen . .
Jesse Montelongo was asked to head the Membership drive. He developed
competition between members of our Avenues of Service Committees. Each
conducted a program during the year on Retention, Attendence, and gaining new
members. This actually took two meetings for all these programs.
The Orientation Brochure was revised with all the new classification rules
passed furing the previous year's council on legislation. The Club brochure 40
was also finished and available for distribution to all prospective new
members. Charles Sippial continued to head the formal orientations mandatory
for perspective members. •
David Olendowski took over responsibility for our club's Website. He did •
an outstanding job and we won outstanding website design for the year at the
District Assembly in March.
Community Service - Steve Cox.
"Clothing for Kids" was a hugh success as we funded 55 needy community •
children the first Saturday in December at TARGET. The "kids" were able to
purchase $125 apiece and were treated to a pancake breakfast at the OUTBACK •
right after they finished shopping. Almost all Rotarians and many spouses
escorted the families through TARGET and accompanied them to the breakfast.
The club became a founding member of the Barbara Bush Literacy Campaign
when we donated $10,000 to her project in November 2002. The donation also
allowed our representative, Steve Cox to be on their Literacy Board of 41
Trustees. Many Rotarians volunteered to read at various locations.
The club participated in the American Red Cross Blood Drive in October 2002
held at the Hilton and Briarcrest Country Club. We joined with the other two •
clubs in town to enhance our total community contribution.
International Service - Steve Williams •
The club started with one computer acquisition project, matched by
development funds from the district, and then our Ambassadorial Scholar,
Rachel Willard suggested we do a similar project in her Community Learning
Center in Guatemala. The club enthusiastically endorsed the effort.
December was a turbulent time, one in which the club rose to new heights in •
fellowship and international caring. We received a call from the Huntsville
club asking us to help a group of visiting Russian entrepreneurs. They had •

• arranged the trip, but their partnership club fell through at the last minute.
We readily agreed to host the team of eleven visitors, all involved in every
facet of the food distribution business. The club partnered with the Bryan
• club to not only arrange for briefings from agricultural experts at Texas A &M,
but we also opened our homes for the week of 9 - 13 December 2002.
•
We sent three nominations to for Ambassadorial Scholars to District 5910.
• Werner Rose headed the selection committee this year. Our club was again
blessed because one of our nominees, Katie Ann Neighbors was indeed selected
• to go to Spain.
' Vocational Service - Hunter Tracht
• The club awarded five Florence Nightingale awards ($250 plus a plague) to
the most outstanding Nurse Aides from the five assisted living facilities in
41 the area. Two vocational scholarships ($1,000 each) were awarded to
• graduating seniors, one from Bryan High and the other from A &M Consolidated
High.
• Additionally we awarded three $100 scholarships to students at A &M
40 Consolidated who showed great promise as outstanding undergraduates.
Hunter decided to return to San Diego in March 2003 so Mike Ball took over
• the reigns of Vocational Service just in time for the VIVA Awards banquet in
April 2003. Scott Leigh was the chairmen of the committee and it was again a
41 thrill for the recipients. The banquet was not well advertised and attendance
• was low, but the Hilton provided a marvelous dinner for all.
. Donations - Vic Reid, as the President Elect, was in charge of donations this
• year. Our first event - Steak & Eggs Breakfast was again hosted by the
OUTBACK in October 2002. Ticket sales were brisk with each member was
• responsible for 12 tickets this year. The silent auction was well received.
• The major fund raiser - the Bob Welch Tennis Tournament went extremely well
considering we could not use the tennis facilities at TAMU as we have done
• since the beginning. The tournament was held in two venues - Bryan High and
Aerofit's Cater Creek Facility. We have a record number of participants (124)
• and Jay Goss did a marvelous job orchestrating the event. We hope to return
• to TAMU's new Intramural Tennis facility next year.
The April District Assembly held in Galveston was a celebration for all
• District 5910 clubs. The list of district accomplishments was indeed
• impressive. The most impressive was that District as well as our club met the
three -year fund raising Polio Plus goal the first year. The club decided to
• continue our contributions the next two years. The College Club qualified for
the third time in a row, for the President's Citation. District Governor
41 Charda Bronaugh presented our citation during her last visit in May.
• This Rotary year came to an end, and a new year began on June 26, 2003 when
John Flynn installed Vic Reid and all the other officers at the Installation
• Banquet held at Pebble Creek. The Club Secretary, Gene Clark, completed his
• seventeenth year as Club Secretary. He announced the 2003 -2004 Rotary year
would be his last as Secretary. He would like to spend more fellowship time
• with his best friends, the members.

• Rotary International asks the clubs close to that college or university to assign a
• local rotarian to act as a host and counselor while that scholar is in this country.
We have had a number of these scholars assigned to us because of our close proximity
