The Club financed the expenses of ten boys attending the local YMCA camp and three girls to the Salvation Army Camp. We provided funds to the Boy Scouts for the purchase of a mimeograph, gave $382 as a Christmas present for needy school children, contributed $50 to the Iron Lung fund and $50 to the Boy Scouts. During the year the student loan fund was not particularly active except for one $200 to a worthy student. The Club again adopted the project of taking care of children's dental needs, paying the bills for those children whose parents could not afford to do so. A popular event was the marble tournament held in the spring, conducted by Rotarian Jim Burns. Rotary sponsored a Junior Baseball Team coached by Jesse Stairet and Cy Perkins. The Rotary Bowling Team, organized by Chick Harley, came in second in the league. Tom Pybus represented our club at the Rotary International Convention in Europe.

The Wenatchee Chiefs baseball team was born through the activities of Rotarian Wilder Jones, Chairman, and a committee composed largely of Rotarians. Rotarian J. H. Winstanley was elected president of the Wenatchee Chamber of Commerce.

Some of the programs at club meetings during the year were: Dean Ballard of Seattle Chamber of Commerce on "Foreign Trade;" General Albert Beebe, Seattle, on "National Defense;" Dr. Heflebower, Pullman, of "Our Gold Enigma;" our own Hal Sylvester on "Our Mineral Resources." Another outstanding meting was the Jamboree Breakfast with Lions and Kiwanis Clubs. Our Rotary Anns enjoyed Ladies' Night which had entertainment furnished by the Little Theatre Group.

The Club and Community was saddened by the loss of two Rotarian leaders, Wellington Pegg and Terry Ross.
