Rotary Club of Vineland - Chartered December 20, 1920
Charles Ackley and Howard Sharp attended the International Association of Rotary Clubs convention in Atlantic City in 1920 and helped the District's third oldest come into existence. Ackley and Sharp decided to pursue a Rotary for their community one day while strolling the beach in Wildwood, New Jersey.
Joseph A. McNamee, a member of the Atlantic City Rotary Club was appointed by the 5th District Governor to help the Vineland Club to become chartered. A formal organization took place October 15th at the Hotel Maretti and the club later became chartered December 20 at The Palms.
Sharp became the first president of the 16 member club and served two terms. Ackley became the second president. He is remembered as one of the most prominent Rotarians in Southern New Jersey history. He served as District Governor of what was then District 50 in 1928-29 and was the only Rotarian in the area who carried PRIVP after his name.
In 1929-30 Ackley became the Third Vice President of Rotary International, the highest position in Rotary ever held by a South Jersey Rotarian. Membership grew steadily and today Vineland is one of the largest clubs in the District. Rotary members continue to strive and outreach in the community while always putting "Service Above Self".
