As Veterans Day draws near, we need to remember that this country was built on people answering the call to service. Ser- vice above Self is what people call it. Men and women, young and old, have honorably answered this call to protect us and to give us this blanket of freedom. We as a Club have a duty to make sure we do the best we can so their work does not go in vain, that is truly the best “Thanks” we can give a veteran.

100 Years ago… On July 1, 1922, Phil Foster served as President, and on October 12, 1922, The Del Rio Club was organized as club number 1285. Arthur Mayhew of the Uvalde Rotary Club came to Del Rio and induced Phil B. Foster to call a meeting of local businessmen in the St. Charles Hotel on the night of October 12, 1922. Seventeen men were present at this meeting and these seventeen men organized and became the charter members of the Del Rio Rotary Club. The club got its charter on November 22, 1922. At first, every few weeks the meeting places were changed from one place to another. At one time the meeting place was alternated between two different places. On November 22, 1922, the Del Rio Rotary Establishes Moore Park, The Del Rio Rotary club was instrumental in getting land from the G. Odell-Moore Estate for Moore Park. The Rotary Club was named trustee for Moore Park along with the American Legion and the Lions Club. Also, the Rotary Club paid for 1/3 of the trees planted in the park. 100 years ago…

A few words from our President.
The compassion you all showed to the people of Del Rio and the willing to serve is an inspiration for us all. I've noticed how you all would treat everyone with kindness, no matter what the situation was. We all knew how stressful it was putting the Rodeo together, but you all still stepped Up to the challenges and overcame the difficulties. We provided entertainment to our community and raised money for future ideas and scholarships as we continue to serve above self. Your actions go a long way to establish the best Service Club of Del Rio. Rotary Del Rio definitely got noticed this weekend but most importantly your work hasn't gone unnoticed. IMAGINE the possibilities going forward.
Thank you for all that you do.
