Club History

The Rotary Club of Fairhope was chartered January 27, 1938. We haven’t always done an outstanding job of recording our history, but in 1957, Dr. H. C. Jordan and Tappy Bradford, with the help of journalism students at Fairhope High School, researched and compiled a club history that you can read at the link below. The photo below was taken about the same time (ca. 1955), when the club was reportedly meeting at Dale’s Restaurant, an establishment that has not been definitely identified, but members who were in the club at the time confidently identify the location in this photo as Julwin’s Restaurant, where we met from 1963 to 1987.

An instructional YouTube video is billed as “First in a series of video presentations designed to help RGHF members get the most out of the online resources available to them.”
