Seventy-five years ago, June 24, 1936, the first Rotary meeting was held at the Queen Isabel Inn in Port Isabel and marked the beginning of three quarters of a century of service to the Laguna Madre area and beyond. On Friday, June 24, 2011 at Beulah Lee Park the Rotary hosted a ribbon cutting for a 35 ft. flag pole and marker. Following the raising of the flag and the Pledge of Allegiance, Rotarian Ronald Boudreaux shared a brief history of the Rotary Club of Port Isabel. Lunch was served in the gazebo.
