There will be many chapters to this chronological record, or history, of our club, but none will be under the leadership of a more beloved and respected president than Wellington Pegg. His high moral influence still guides the lives of scores of those whose school days were spent during his reign as Principal of the Wenatchee High School. His insight into the problems of youth was a sobering factor in his general demeanor, but he never allowed it to disrupt his keen sense of humor. The minutes of Wellington's second meeting, July 13, disclose the last illness and death of his mother. On May 10, 1928, he delivered an outstanding address to the Club entitled "Some Remarks in Honor of our Mothers."

In late fall, 1925, Ralph Hodge resigned from the Club. Cliff Godfrey temporarily took over his duties as secretary. Later Cliff White was elected to the post after much horseplay and fun over Godfrey's pseudo strenuous campaign to retain his temporary position.

In December Wellington gave a report on his attendance at the Rotary International Convention in Denver, Colorado. At that meeting Tom Davis made such a favorable impression that he was later elected President of Rotary International.

In March District Governor Ed Campbell visited our Club. that same month we were entered by an old-timers' orchestra composed of Frank Andrews, Fred Crollard, Frank Reeves, A. T. Leese and Arthur Bousquet as part of a program honoring the valley's pioneers.

In September, at the Elks gymnasium, we held our annual evening meeting honoring the teachers of the community.

In November we discussed sponsoring new clubs at Cashmere, Leavenworth, Chelan, Omak and Okanogan. A leading merchant of Okanogan wrote a letter to our club advising against starting a club at Omak and Okanogan. We later received approval from the District Governor for a Chelan Club Charter and it was presented to 17 Chelan citizens by 45 Wenatchee Rotarians and 31 Rotary Anns.

President, Wellington Pegg, in September, urged that we open ten new classifications.

Club stationery was purchased, as were our first song books. Cards were given out to secure information for publishing our first club roster. We are branching out.
