Description

In October 1925, a group of Coronado businessmen met at the Blue Lantern Cafe in Coronado to discuss forming a Rotary Club in their city. With sponsorship help from the San Diego Rotary Club, the Rotary Club of Coronado was chartered February 12, 1926, with 22 charter members. The first meeting was held at the San Diego Yacht Club, which at the time was located on Glorietta Bay. Later the club would move briefly to the Coronado Country Club and in 1930 settled into its current home, the Hotel Del Coronado. During those early days at the Del, the meeting room was the Silver Grill, now known as the Coronet Room, one of our regular venues to this day. From 1926 to 1941, meetings occurred on Fridays, but members then voted to change to Wednesdays; and from 1941 to the present, that has been the rule.
