Our Club
The
Delphi Rotary Club began on March 1, 1939. Our sponsor was the Logansport club
represented by Jack E. Yarian, who later became District Governor in 1945. Mayor
Clay Pearson, a charter member, gave the address of welcome, George W. Obear a
charter member is still an active member today.
With
the exception of periodic business meetings, each meeting features a guest
speaker. This forum allows members of our club and community to hear from
politicians on the local and federal level, local business leaders as well as a
wide variety of interesting people in our area.
