A Look Back

April 4, 1927

My Dear Rotarian;

Many things have happened since Washington celebrated his last birthday.
Oswego Rotary was born at Chicago last week and was granted Charter No. 2526.
Now for the christening.

Thursday, April 21st, has been selected for our coming out party.
Dick Wheeler and I have been receiving loads of literature and Rotary dope
and it may be necessary to call some kind of meeting soon to digest some of it.
Frankly we don't know much more about this thing now than we did at the beginning.
We will need lots of help from every member of the club. It looks like a big party
on the twenty-first so keep the date open and come prepared to be inoculated with
the Rotary bacteria.

Rotarily yours,
C. E. RILEY
