Memphis Central Rotary Archive Project
Do you have a part of our club's history? After 35 years, our club has accumulated a lot of history and most of it is spread around among various members. Jerry Daws recently started an effort to convert our historical records, pictures and memorabilia into digital format. If you have a part of our club’s history stored away, will you share it with the club? We'd like to borrow your pictures and documents to scan so that our history can be preserved and shared. Please see Jerry Daws or Ray Darby for more information.

A reminder from our club treasurer Treasurer Bill Eddings gives us this important reminder: First quarter dues are now payable. Invoices were sent out by e-mail to everyone in early July. If you did not receive your statement, please see me Friday and I will have a hard copy for you. Thanks! Bill E.
