All of
our lists and
records reflect two things -- that the charter numbers are
36. Rochester and 37. Omaha BUT that Omaha was organized and
chartered first. I do not have any documents that support
number 36 for Omaha or 37 for Rochester. (A
similar issue exists with 25 Duluth and 26 Hartford, ed)
Omaha's official charter date is 1 March 1912. Rochester's
official charter date is 5 March 1912. The old Official
Directories say that Omaha was organized in August of 1911
and Rochester in September of 1911. I looked up the
historical binders for each club and found that the
Rochester binder has been lost. The Omaha binder contains
correspondence regarding the club's election for membership
in May of 1925 but the club is given credit for a March 1
charter date -- maybe because all but one of the 'yes' votes
from the board were filed earlier. It is unclear from the
papers I have why this was the case. So it seems likely that
there was a delay in getting the charter to Omaha, and in
the mean time the Rochester club was given a charter number
of 36, the next one available. So Omaha was the 36th club
but was assigned the charter number 37.
I am attaching a one-page document that I send out often to
Rotarians who want to know what their club number means. I
hope this helps!

The following historic
list was provided by Robin Dillow of the RI Archives
The "WHEN ISSUED" dates
here refer to the issuance of the new charter
for the "International Association of Rotary
Clubs" and this list then must include all the
"Charter Clubs" of the new association. Those
who were charted on June 2, 1913 that is.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
London, England #50 was formed by Arthur
Sheldon of the Chicago club #1 and an English associate in 1911 Dublin, Ireland #65 and Belfast Ireland #67
were formed in 1911 by William Stuart Morrow, formerly of the
San Francisco club #2, who also formed Glasgow,
Scotland #60 and Edinburgh, Scotland #62 in 1912 These clubs were not chartered until
December 2, 1913 and the delay is explained by RGHF
Senior Historian Basil Lewis that their formation of some RIBI clubs was
sometimes not reported to Chicago for some years.
This chart was prepared by RGHF board
member Norm
Winterbottom, New Zealand 6 July 2007, from original documents from the Rotary International
Archives.
