A total of 217 people attended the banquet and dahee the Fireside Inn as Castlegar club president Jim Marshall accepted the charter from Gyro International third vice-president Jim Parker of Wenatchee, Wash. Visiting clybs included sponsoring club Trail Gyro Club and the Gyro clubs of Grand Forks and Nelson which were co-sponsors. Other visiting clubs were from Cour D’Alene, Idaho; Spokane and Wenatchee, Wash.; and District No. 8 governor, Jim Little of Crossroads (Edmonton). Castlegar Mayor Audrey Moore gave greetings to the club on behalf of the City of Castlegar. Noting that service clubs are very vital and important to any community, Moore welcomed the club members. Although the Gyro Club does service work — such as establishing parks and sponsoring athletic teams, it is mainly known as a friendship club. District No. 8 First Lt.-Gov. Norm Hinton of Trail in installing the charter officers and members, noted that the Gyro Club represents a “satisfying state of mind achieved through friendshi, “It is an agi ble voluntary hip,” he said. “A fraternity of friendship with no geographical limi- _ tations. Gyro and friendship are synonymous,” he added. “It is a place to meet friends.” The seed for the Gyro International was planted in 1912 in Cleveland, Ohio when three young men — university students — gathered together with acquain- tances who felt the same way about friendship and began meeting over lunch hours. The name Gyro came about on the suggestion by a new member in December of 1912. During the years that followed, new clubs were formed in Chicago in 1914, and Buffalo and Cincinnatti in 1916. In 1919 a club was formed in Toronto and the Gyro club became international in scope. In 1922, districts were established within the club. Today, there are 10 districts which include 5,500 families in 16 clubs, and the organization is still growing. Castlegar Gyro Club members and officers installed by Hinton were: Jim Marshall, president; Dick Lynch, vice-president; Derm Jackman, secretary; John Aslin, treasurer; Al Henne, Sergent at Arms; directors include, Ray Bann, Bruce Denneus, Blair Flanagan and Gary Milne. Charter members are: Allan Atkinson, Mike Bann, Lorne Coleman, Ed Dinner, Marcel Faucher, Lorne Fiets, Dan Fitger, John Fostey, William Johnson, Mike Leslie, Phil Lester, Len Lewis, Randy McNee, John Newton, Fred Planidin, Bill Peristrom, Dave Powell, Ian Rae, Pec Santos, Rich Shypitka, Marv Thorgeirson, Mike Vara- bioff, Todd Verhaeghe and Max Wiesner. The Castlegar Gyro Club had its beginnings when Marshall, a member of the Trail club, felt he wanted to start a club in Castlegar, according to Trail member Elmo Ferraro who gave the Castlegar club's background.

In February, Marshall had six members and g told Bob Redman of the Trail club he was ready to start a club. However, he was told six members was not enough, so Marshall returned with 12 members. A meeting was held March 29 with Redman chairing at which the meaning of Gyro Club was discussed. The next meeting saw 23 members with more members joining as time went on. The Trail club then decided to sponsor the club with Nelson and Grand Forks acting as co-sponsors. An executive was elected, committees were estab- lished and the date for the charter night was set. Ferraro noted that all the Trail club did was to try to guide the Castlegar club, which has done all the work. The Castlegar club is one of 18 clubs in District No. 8. The charter night concluded with presentations of gifts and a welcome from the Trail, Grand Forks, Nelson and Spokane clubs. The gavel was presented by District Governor Jim Little of Crossroads.
