              The Rotary Club of Westwood was organized in 1960 and chartered by Rotary International on November 18, 1960. The Club had 23 charter members, two of whom, Walter R. Leslie and Roger Killelea, are still living. The catalyst for the organization of the club was its first president, Westwood resident John (Jack) Alcott. The 23 charter members were all residents or leading businessmen in the Town. At the time Rotary was an all male organization. This changed in the mid eighties when, with a little help from the U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. Rotary clubs began accepting women as members. Although Rotary is still exclusively male in some countries, most of the 36,000 clubs in the world have both male and female members.             Except for occasional breaks due to holidays, storm... 11/30/2010
