Administrative history
The term "Rotary Ann" is an affectionate nickname for the wives of the male members of the Rotary Clubs internationally. The term grew out of an interesting historical occasion.
In 1914, the San Francisco Rotarians were boarding a special train to attend the Rotary convention being held in Houston. The name "Rotary Ann" was the nickname given to Ann Brunnier, the only wife of a Rotary member to make the trip with her husband. At the next convention, Rotary Ann skits and songs were written. One of the prominent Rotarians in Houston was Guy Gundaker of Philadelphia, whose wife's name was also Ann. The two Anns were hoisted on the men's shoulders and paraded about the hall. The term of endearment, "Rotary Ann" was given to all the wives of Rotarians from that day on. Because their husbands eventually became presidents of Rotary International, the two original Anns became the First Ladies of the Rotary.
The Ladner Rotary Anns' first meeting took place on January 18, 1961. Their main interest was in providing a social club for Rotary women, but they did take on some service activities. Some of the charities they supported were: The Delta Foundation, The Provincial Resource Program for Autism and Related Disorders, Delta Community Hospice Foundation, Deltassist Community Services Society, as well as the Soil and Water Conservation Foundation of the Philippines. Their correspondence reveals the many donations these women made, as well as the many requests for support they received as wives of service club members.
The 1961/62 Executive Officers of the Club were:
President: Betty Burnett
Vice Pres: Muriel Remphrey
Secretary: Peggy Oliver
Sgt-at-arms: Winonah Maxwell
