Rotary Club of Savannah to get historical marker
The Georgia Historical Society and the Rotary Club of Savannah will unveil a new historical marker on Jan. 6 to commemorate the club’s centennial.
The ceremony will take place at 1:30 p.m. at the corner of Bull and Liberty streets in front of the DeSoto Hilton.
The marker will note that the club met for the first time at the DeSoto Hotel on Jan. 5, 1914, and was founded by John S. Banks and a group of local businessmen.
The marker reads, in part:
The Savannah club sponsored the formation of eight others around the state. Together, they championed local and regional developments including completing the road to Tybee Island, improving the Savannah River for commercial traffic, enhancing the Dixie Highway system in southeast Georgia, and building bridges over the Savannah and Altamaha Rivers.
