The Centennial Clock -- the story of
the project from start to
finish
The Rotary Club of San Marino's
Centennial Clock's story begins in January 2004 when newly
designated
President Elect Elect (2005-06) pitches an idea to President Elect
Jack Hamilton (2004-05) about
donating a clock to the community to celebrate
Rotary International's 100th Anniversary in 2005. Local
Rotary Clubs
were asked by Rotary International to select projects in the local community to
honor
the anniversary.
Thus began a truly collective effort by all
members of the Club, from fundraising, to project design, to
hands on work
at the site, to creating a wonderful gift for the entire community. The project
finished with
the dedication of the Centennial Clock on July 4, 2005 at 10
am.
The following documents help tell the story. The 'Centennial Clock
Project Report' provides a detailed
overview of the entire project.
And the photos
and movies tell the visual story of this project.
