In November of 1988, after 65 years of being an all-male club, Laurens Rotary inducted its first female members. Barbara J. Ware of the Old 96 District and Julie Thomas, Laurens City Administrator, laid the groundwork for leadership by the ladies in our club. In this picture, Buck Babb is doing the induction honors. The women were sponsored by Laurens Mayor and Rotarian Bob Dominick.
