Rotary International is Celebrating its 105th Birthday, today.
A long tradition among Rotary clubs in many countries is the levying of monetary fines. Most of the income for the Rotary Club of Chicago in the early years (1925) was derived from fines. Infarctions such as having one's photograph in the newspaper, being late to a meeting (i.e. Mark Parker), or inadvertently calling another member "Mister," will invariably cost the miscreant a dollar or so.

| Business Note of the Day |
|
Sears Company began in 1886 by Richard W. Sears. He started re-selling gold-filled pocket watches that he purchased at a discount. He sold these watches at railroad stations and then later by mail order.
In 1887 Richard Sears hires Alvah C. Roebuck to repair watches. Roebuck would repair all the watches that were returned. Interestingly, Sears, Roebuck and Co. has not been run by Sears or Roebuck since 1908. Roebuck quit in 1895 and sold his share in company for $25,000. Sears quit in 1908 and sold all his stock in 1913.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
The Quakers in Woodbury and Gloucester were early abolitionists. Under their vigilance, a black community had developed in Woodbury by 1840 with the erection of a church and one room school house. They now occupy the same property on Carpenter Street, formerly known as Otter Street and then Hayti Street. By 1846, slavery had been abolished in name (and largely in fact) in New Jersey. Reportedly, in the 1830's, many slaves from Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey came to Woodbury as a haven.
Legislation passed in 1881 favored desegregation and provided leverage for the black community to have their own one room school improved. Then in 1889, a two-story frame school was built at the corner of Carpenter and Allen Streets. It stands today, across the street from a larger brick schoolhouse built about 1915. These structures serve to document the original settlement and the legislative advances made by blacks as reflected in the architecture. The Bethel A.M.E. Church, and original schoolhouse have been included in the National Register of Historic Places as individual sites.
