A major effort, led by Rotarian Kirby Billingsley, resulted in the organization and our sponsorship of the Ephrata Rotary Club.

The District Assembly was held in Wenatchee June 25 and 26.

There were many good programs during the year including several fine musical programs. An especially good program was given by Baron Hans Du Meiss Torfin, a Swiss world explorer, adventurer and writer.

The Club voted $400 for further development of Scout A Vista and assumed financial responsibility for up to $1500 to complete a portion of the mess hall. Other projects and accomplishments were: Designed an apple lapel card for visiting Rotarians; furnished identification buttons to the new Spokane Valley Club; furnished a speaker's stand, U. S. Flag and lapel buttons to the new Ephrata Club; furnished speaker's stand for the Pasco-Kennewick Club; furnished lapel buttons for the Okanogan-Omak Club; Paid postage on packages to Denmark; voted $60 to the Soroptimist Club Milk Fund; provided financial support for purchase of clothing for needy children, sent a boy to Evergreen Boys' State; gave $100 to the Whitman College Choir and arranged housing for 40 members of the choir; sponsored a piano concert for Bob Evans; sponsored finals of the 5th District Oratorical Contest division held in Wenatchee; gave $100 to the Freedom Train plus several donations from individual members; provided for dental work for needy children; sponsored a Junior Legion Baseball Team and contributed $50 for the marble tournament.
