Rotary Opens Opportunities

“If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates yourenergy and inspires your hopes.” – Andrew Carnegie

The Club to Highlight this week is the Rotary Club of St. Francois County/Bonne Terre

The Rotary in St. Francois County was admitted to Rotary March 1 of 1934, as the RotaryClub of Bonne Terre. The name was changed to its current name on April 12th, 2002. Thesponsor Club was the St Louis Club 11. Now 87 years later, despite of the changingeconomic, social, and political environments, the existence of Rotary in St. Francois

County is only made possible through the diligent efforts of Rotarians down through theyears. The Club meets in Park Hills Missouri which is about 65 mile south of St LouisMissouri. The Club currently has 38 members. Membership has remained steady over thelast 5 years and they are looking forward to member growth.

Back to 1934 – “Service Above Self” and the ideals of Rotary were quickly embraced asRotarians started putting their footprint on their community. Over the years, the Club hasmade an impact not just by the service projects and community assistance, but also by thefabric of the members involved in the Clubs. Projects have included: portable band stands,house projects (maybe a fore runner of Habitat for Humanity?), Halloween costumeparties, furnishing wheelchairs and hospital beds, entertaining high school athletic teams(and now Special Olympics), providing scholarships since 1974 while being responsible forthe area’s first handicap accessible swing set among their numerous projects. The Club’srich history also includes service projects such as trash clean-up and blood drives as wellas one of the area’s longest running basketball events as this year, they hosted the 62ndAnnual Basketball Shootout, proceeds that fund the Club’s scholarship program.

The Club has had six members serve as District Governor and have the distinction of theonly “brothers” who have served this District as Governor, Roger and Jerry Weems. Many,many Rotarians have served in Rotary in St. Francois County in the past 87 years. Likemany Clubs, they have a rich tradition and pride in our accomplishments. As Rotary isenduring through the latest pandemic, they have been fortunate to continue to meetdespite the pandemic with a hybrid-style format and have added 6 new members this year.They were fortunate to hold our largest fundraiser of the year in recently completing the62nd Annual Basketball Shootout. However, they must now look to the future. They facemany challenges and maybe even a few obstacles going forward, but we draw this onelesson from our rich heritage: exemplify the same determination and diligence that hasproduced 87 years of Rotary service in St. FrancoisCounty . In doing so, they will continueto leave a legacy started one snowy night in March of 1934.
