Column: Scrapbook tells history of Rotary during war years Johnny Vardeman Garry Hutchinson was doing some work recently on Ridgewood Avenue in Gainesville when he came across a trash pile at the curb. Atop was a scrapbook for Gainesville Rotary Club for the years 1941 through 1944. It’s significant not only because it provides a history of the club during that time, but those were the peak years of World War II. The scrapbook reflects how the club and the community carried on during the war. Local leaders at the time were prominent Rotarians. Whoever kept the scrapbook entered handwritten accounts of every Rotary meeting, sometimes accompanied by newspaper clippings of the club’s activities.
