The 1989 Council on Legislation vote to admit women into Rotary clubs worldwide remains a watershed moment in the history of Rotary.
"My fellow delegates, I would like to remind you that the world of 1989 is very different to the world of 1905. I sincerely believe that Rotary has to adapt itself to a changing world," said Frank J. Devlyn, who would go on to become RI president in 2000-01.
The vote followed the decades-long efforts of men and women from all over the Rotary world to allow for the admission of women into Rotary clubs, and several close votes at previous Council meetings.
The response to the decision was overwhelming: By 1990, the number of female Rotarians had skyrocketed to over 20,000. Today, Rotary has more than 197,000 female Rotarians. Women have served in leadership positions as high as the RI Board of Directors and The Rotary Foundation Board of Trustees. On the 25th anniversary of the 4 May U.S. Supreme Court decision that set up the Council's action, see the timeline below. | | Posted by Jennifer Raappana on Apr 23, 2012 The Rotary Club of West Shore is getting ready to hold its 8th Annual Chili Cook Off. This dynamite event, promising fiery competition and fun, will be held on June 9th from 11am-3pm at Veteran's Memorial Park in Langford. The Chili Cook Off was conceived as a fun family event that welcomes summer and raises funds for the wonderful work of the West Shore Rotary Club. | | Posted by Skip Triplett President Jenn led a great Club Assembly!
