What is the Arch Klumph Society? Arch C. Klumph founded Rotary Club of Cleveland, Ohio in 1911 and was the 1916-17 Rotary President. Addressing the 1917 convention in Atlanta, Georgia, he eloquently promoted the idea of endowments for the purpose of doing good in the world. That year, the Rotary Club of Kansas City, Missouri, made the first gift of $26.50 to the fledgling fund. When the endowment had grown significant enough to require administrators to manage it, the Rotary Foundation was born and Klumph was selected as one of its first trustees. The Arch Klumph Society was created in 2004, during Rotary International s centennial celebration, as a meaningful way to recognize the Foundation s highest-level donors. The society s first dinner was held the following year. Gene Banks and Ted Schmidt celebrate Ted s induction into the Arch Klumph Society. 2

Salt Lake Rotary Cluster Meetings April 18, 2017 Pay a visit to one of our fellow Rotarians and learn about how they spend their time away from Rotary. It s a great opportunity to see some of the businesses and organizations that support Rotary. YOU MUST RESERVE YOUR PLACE by emailing brett.sutherland@afpartners.org, by calling Brett at 801-994-9944 x158, or by speaking with him at a luncheon. Hurry, spots can go quickly! RSVP by April 12. America First Randi Jackson, host The Innovation Center is an entirely new banking experience. Designed to be part branch, part learning workshop, and part tech playground, it's a unique space where America First members, along with the rest of the community, can get hands-on access to relevant, state-of-the-art technology and financial systems, learn about new tools and opportunities within the credit union and community, and give real-time feedback about what kind of experience they want to have with the credit union in the future. The first thing that you'll probably notice is that the Innovation Center isn't like the other America First branches you're used to. It's been built not only to showcase cutting-edge hardware and tools, but to let you experiment with them. Of course, you can still make withdrawals and deposits, apply for loans and other services, meet with experts to discuss your financial plans and choices, and anything else you can do at a traditional branch. You'll just be doing all of that in a whole new way.

John is dedicated to preserve the stories of our past, and you'll see how closely the effort to remember early Riverton ties in with his company, Legacy Books, and their desire to save family, community, and corporate legacies. We'd love to have you over. Cluster Meetings Options Page 3 of 3 11
Acts of Kindness Report March, 2017 Rotary Bee Two families lost everything when their apartment house caught on fire. The Salt Lake Rotary Club through the Acts of Kindness Committee was able to provide beds for the children in March. In addition, the committee approved six applications for help with an emergency medical procedure, utility bills and rent. The grants the Acts of Kindness Committee gave in March helped 24 people including 15 children. Unexpected situations are often disastrous to a person who is struggling to provide a home and food for their family. It is gratifying to be able to help these people regain their footing and continue forward. Thanks to the Rotary Club and to our generous benefactor the Anderson-Hatch Foundation we are able to give our fellow citizens peace of mind. 12
