History of Rotary International themesIt's at this time of year that the ANNUAL THEME is introduced by the incoming President Elect of Rotary International at the International Assembly. This year Rotary International President Elect Jennifer Jones will announce it virtually on January 20. Read below for a short history of some of the themes from years past. |
Old Home Week BeginningsThe inaugural Old Home Week was held during the last week of August 1948. Mr. Frederick O. Creighton, Woodstock's mayor at the time, had the idea for one week of numerous events. A Charter Member of the Woodstock Rotary Club, local entrepreneur, and community volunteer, Mr. Creighton's idea gained support from the Rotary Club, and Old Home Week became a reality. For its first two years, the Rotary Club led the organization of Old Home Week until the annual festival had grown too large to be handled by a single group. As a result, organization from that point on would be assisted by the local Y's Mens Club, Elks and Lions Clubs, Royal Canadian Legion branch, and other interested individuals. To this day, Old Home Week remains a large community effort.
