Club History - Centennial Rotary Club

Chartered: May 10, 2001

The club was sponsored by the Highlands Ranch Club. Loy Dickinson, District Governor Special Representative, was instrumental in getting the club up and running. Representing Colorado's newest city, the Centennial Rotary Club's application for Charter had the fastest acceptance in the history of District 5450 - 48 hours.

Charter night was special and held on July 26, 2001. Events included entertainment provided by Young Music Ambassadors from Colorado, Russia and Taiwan and a silent auction. Past Rotary Foundation Director, Grant Wilkins, was the keynote speaker.
