The Le Sueur Rotary Club was chartered on Tuesday, March 9, 1948. The charter dinner was held at the Le Sueur High School with 200 Rotarians and their wives from other clubs in attendance.
The sponsoring clubs were Mankato and St. Peter. Max M. Moore of Valley City, ND was the District Governor.
Vern Baumann was very instrumental in getting the club started in Le Sueur. The result of Vern's enthusiasm was the beginning of Le Sueur Rotary with 24 members. The Club always has met at noon; initially in such places as Wally Trucke's restaurant, Robinson's Cafe, and the Wilke Hotel.
