“Final steps in the organization of a Rotary club for Maywood were taken last night by a group of representative business men, headed by Edward A. Cogley, thus making this community a part of Rotary International which during the past nineteen years has established itself for the development of the idea of practical service in more than sixteen hundred cities in twenty-eight countries,” reads the first paragraph in a Maywood Herald article from Feb. 29, 1924.
