Income generated by the foundation's investments are used for scholarships and other educational or charitable purposes.
HISTORY: Hazen B. "Cy" Jeter, who joined the club December 6, 1986 and served as club president 1990-91, compiled a History of The Rotary Club of McMinnville (1.2 gb pdf file) from its beginning up until shortly before he passed away November 10, 2001. Much of the information in the book came from club bulletins. For club history after that contained in the book can be found by reading the weekly club bulletins that are on the web.
