This year was a very busy year and an outstanding one, but records reveal very little details, not even as to who was the Apple Seed Editor.

We extended Honorary Membership to the Wenatchee Rotary Club for Clyde E. Pangborn of Wenatchee and Hugh Herndon of New York City following their non-stop flight from Japan to Wenatchee. The pilots, on October 13, presented a letter to our club president from the president of the Toyko Rotary Club.

Theme for the year seemed to be "The Depression" and "Unemployment." Price of meals, however, was raised to 60 cents. It was reported that on August 22, Roger Babson was quoted as saying "I am willing to stake my reputation that business has seen the worst."

Rotarians continued to be active and involved in community work. Of 15 members present at an Executive Committee meeting of boy Scouts, eight were Rotarians. Rotary Bowling team placed second out of four service club teams. Members of the team were Harry Miller, Roy Thomas, Frank Taylor, Mac Gardner, Vint McBride and Bal Ballenger.

Rotary International Convention was held in Seattle in June, 1932, and was attended by many of our members.
