Ron Weaver has been a Bell Collector for many decades with a collection of over 3000 bells. He is retired and was in the process of getting rid of some of his bells and found one he obtained at a flea market in the Valley 55 years ago.
He decided to donate the bell to us. The bell is engraved and was the original bell that our sponsor club, the Rotary Club of San Antonio, presented to the Alamo Heights Rotary Club on our charter date April 21, 1948. Had the Rotary Club of San Antonio not done this, the many hundreds of members that have been in the Alamo Heights Rotary Club over the past 74+ years would have missed one of the best and most productive opportunities in their life and our community would not have benefited to the extent it has. 
 
Next year will be our 75th Anniversary and coincidentally will be on the same date as Alamo Heights Night 2023, April 21, 2023. We hope some of the other District Rotarians may be able to share our experience that day as individuals or their Club as a vendor at the event.
