Rotary Club Of Greenville


According to records available the Greenville Rotary Club was organized in April, 1920, and received its charter from Rotary International May 1, 1920. Our sponsor was the Clarksdale Rotary Club with W. K. Herrin as its special representative.

The first meeting was held in the cafeteria of the old  Greenville High School. For the first ten years we met upstairs in  what was then the Elysian Club, but later known as the William A. Percy Memorial Library. The meals were prepared and served by the Women's Auxiliary of the Episcopal Church under the leadership of Mrs. Lola Belle Eustis, according to information furnished by the late Andrew Alexander.
