Oyster Bay Rotary Club
History:
On March 4, 1905, Theodore Roosevelt , our twenty-sixth President, delivered his inaugural address in Washington, DC. He reminded the nation "....no people on Earth have more cause to be thankful than ours...much has been given to us, and much will rightly be expected of us. We have duties to others and duties to ourselves; and we can shirk neither."
President Roosevelt's words resonate with the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self".
In 1941, and organazational meeting of the Rotary Club of Oyster Baywas held in the Matinecck Inn, conducted by our parent club, the Rotary Club of Huntington (NY). We received a chrter from Rotary International in February 1942. From Oyster Bay's Club, the Rotary Clubs of Syosset was founded in 1956 and Bayville in 1980.
