Charter Night for the Berea Rotary Club was Wednesday, October 22, 1952. It took place at the Colonial Gardens. Looking back on the past four decades, certain events sparkle with brilliance. We remember the Spring Charity Balls; the Theater Parties; the great Christmas Parties; the Reverse Raffles; the Between the Lakes Runs; and all the many special events like the Clam Bakes, the Steak Roasts, the Golf Outings, and the Basketball and Baseball Games.

In the past four decades we have graced many meeting places. They are: the Colonial Restaurant in downtown Berea, the Hopkins Airport Restaurant, the Coach House Restaurant, the Pewter mug, the Oven Grinding Company, the Sheldon Inn, Casey's, the Southwest Community General Hospital and the Olde Colony Room at BW.
