The Breezes - Weekly Bulletin
by Dr. Harry Farris
Award Winner
The weekly bulletin of The Rotary Club of Bay City has been called The Breezes since 1928, and probably before that. The oldest copy we have been able to find was preserved in Chan Gregory's scrapbook. Chan was a charter member of the club and thanks to his scrapbooks we have been able to learn a lot about the early history of the club.

We do not have a list of all of the editors of this fine publication and I expect there were many. The best we can do is to start with 1965 when John Noell took over. John was an educator and well qualified for the job. He did a fine job for 5 years, when Ron Fuller took over.

Ron wrote The Breezes for 10 years from 1970 through 1980. During his tenure our weekly newsletter was more than just a news sheet, more than just a calendar of coming events and programs, and more even than an advocate of International Rotary. Almost every week, bits of wisdom from statesmen, authors, philosophers, and historians were offered for readers' digestion, and ON THE PROPHETIC SIDE became as much a part of The Breezes as any of the other items of interest and purpose. We miss Ron's timely quotes.
We've had many excellent editors of The Breezes in its long history of "Service Above Self." Sadly their names have been lost, as have, indeed, almost all copies of The Breezes in the over 90 years of our history as a Rotary club. But certainly we have to remember Oscar Bridgewater, Patricia Vance and Dave Rogers. And when an editor for some reason could not fulfill the weekly challenge there was Carl Hendershot who would assume these duties over and above his other avenues of service. Carl will forever be remembered as one who exemplified "Service Above Self." We can be thankful that so many, over the years of our club's existence, have been willing to take on the weekly challenge - and privilege - of composing a weekly Breezes.
Back in the seventies when the district was handing out awards to clubs with the best bulletins, our Breezes was awarded first recognition twice and second place twice. A nice distinction at the time and a tribute to Ron Fuller. Carl Lockwood has saved many copies of The Breezes since he joined the club in1965 but most of the copies prior to that have been lost. In terms of content and spirit, we do indeed hope that The Breezes will not be a lost tradition.

In recent years The Breezes has been published weekly as a section of the online e-publication MyBayCity.com. The good thing about this publication method is that all issues are catalogued and can be accessed at a later date and even searched for keywords.
While editors and publication methods have changed over the last century, the goal of The Breezes has remained the same - to keep members up-to-date on club activities, member accomplishments, and the 'World of Rotary' in general.
