Club HistoryA banker named Briggs Todd, and a Past District Governor in the Dallas, Texas area moved to Abilene to head up a new bank. Having been a Rotarian for a few years Briggs was proposed to the Abilene Rotary Club for membership. However, the banking classification was already filled, so his proposal was disapproved. Briggs had made a good friend of Rotarian John C. Mayfield and they, along with some others, decided that Abilene needed a new Rotary Club. They went about Abilene, getting a group of 30 Abilene leading businessmen to agree to be charter members. They also had one person, who was an additional active, for a total of 31. The articles listed, reveal the beginnings of the Southwest Abilene Rotary Club which was later renamed: Abilene Southwest Rotary Club.
