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.
