“The Recent History of the Rotary Club of Stockton”

Reed Robbins served as president during 1976, he raised roughly $25,000. One goal that year was to provide a bedroom at the children s home. During his kick out an invocation was given and one of the memorable statements was Better to have bad leadership than none at all”.

Dean McNeilly served as president in 1983-1984. The average membership of the club was around 285, with a high of 306. It was still an all men s club. The SRE was created that year. Dean was instrumental in partnering with the Delta Blood Bank.

Karen Munro, our first woman president, served during the year 1995. One of her projects was the Adopt a Highway campaign in a section of HWY 99 which is now the cross town freeway. During Karen s term was the first time that kids from St Mary s TLC home came to share lunch with Rotarians. Also, during her term Luis Duarte helped coordinate the delivery of an ambulance to Mexico. Her membership was in the high 200 s.

Jim Dyke served the year 1999-2000. There were roughly 262 members. The theme during his presidency was Fun, Fellowship and Fundraising. During Jim s year an Oktoberfest was held at noon at the Stockton Inn and it raised roughly $21,000.

Bill Brown served as president the year 2003-2004 which was the year before the Rotary Centennial celebration year. On October 15th, 2003 all presidents had to ring a Bell in recognition of the centennial for Rotary. That year all the clubs in Stockton worked togethor on various projects in observance of the centennial. The projects were the following, a fence was placed around the Women s Center, a series of canopies were placed above picnic tables at the Weber Points center, a playground was installed at Walton School and finally the Rotary House at the hospital went through a major renovation. Also, during Bill s presidency the lunch time power point presentation presenting all the activities our club is involved in was introduced.
