The Club Roster reads: "Meets every Thursday noon, Columbia Hotel Dining Room." The Apple Seed resumed publication.

Our membership includes many active and involved citizens: Edgar Widby, Mayor of the City of Wenatchee; Frank V. Taylor, Sr. and Wilder Jones on the School Board; Charlie Wilmeroth, President of the Boy Scout Council as well as eight other members on the Council, Martin Warren, "Shine" Shiner, Cliff George, Harry Miller, Dutch Diehl, "Deak" Fisher, Russell Congdon and Art Chase; out of 15 Chamber of Commerce Board of Trustees, ten are Rotarians; 60% of the Club members are involved in Community Chest drive.

Much interest was evidenced in the schools and youth of the community. In September the annual reception and banquet honoring the teachers of the community was held. The Club entertained the eighth-grade boys at a meeting once in January and again in May. Each Rotarian took one or more of these boys as his special guest. On March 28 the Club meeting was held at the high school, served by the Domestic Science students with a school tour after the luncheon.

Youth contributions included: $170 during the year to Aid to Children, $25 to Elks Crippled Children's Fund, $25 to Community Christmas Fund. As of February the Student Loan Fund totaled $1081 with $1013 out on loans. Total loaned to date are $3079. The Club started projects to raise more money for this fund.

December 6 was an evening meeting with the Beacon Hill Grangers. Walt Horan presided for the Grangers. On February 21 we celebrated our club's anniversary and invited Rotary Anns. Our Club was visited by a R. I. Director, Frank Lamb of Hoquiam, Washington, who spoke about a visit to Japan and to Vladivostok in Siberia. He said that the men in Vladivostok were interested in establishing a Rotary Club there.

Deak Fisher and Bill Luce attended the Rotary International Convention in Minneapolis, Minn. Eight of our Club members attended the District Conference in May, 1929, at Vancouver, B. C.

Dr. Herbert Morse was elected Club Historian.
