History of the Club

On December 27, 1946 Dr. George Supple received a letter from R.I. President Richard Hedke congratulating the club upon its acceptance into Rotary International. The club's first official Charter Night was on February 27, 1947 at 6:30 p.m. at the Bainbridge Central School.

The first president was Dr. George Supple and the secretary as Al DeClue. Some projects of the Bainbridge Club during the first year were:
  • Donations to the Ladies Aid Group for helping with Charter Night.
  • The Rotarian magazine subscription was given to the village and school libraries.
  • Donations were $10 to the Town BAseball Team, $25 to Veteran's Memorial fund, and $10 to the American Legion.
