We had the BEST team corralling history from the Rotary Club of Norfolk office on January 20. That is when archivists Bill Inge, Eddie Woodward, Sarah Osorio and Troy Valos filled dozens of boxes with artifacts to take to the Sargeant Memorial Collection at the Slover Memorial Library. The historians were thrilled to find photos like the one pictured (with Sarah Osorio) of Rotary Ladies Night in 1927 at the Cavalier Hotel.
 
They boxed up member directories, minutes, photographs and memorabilia dating to the founding of our club in 1914. The items will be cataloged, stored in an archival setting and made accessible to club members and the public. Photos will be digitized and placed in a searchable database. The historians are thrilled to start organizing the Rotary Club of Norfolk Collection. Our board voted to donate these items to the new Slover Library, which our club helped fund.
