The history file contained 23 Board meeting minutes, 10 pieces of correspondence, a bounded document  which contained the Club's plans and goals, budget, membership roster, and the avenues of service committee members.  The Club continued to meet at the Holiday Inn.  Thirteen  of the Club's  former presidents were on the roster.  A former District 589  Governor, Floyd Boze 1981-1982, and a charter member, Vince Lipovsky, attended the weekly club meetings.  Richard Allen, Frank Morgan, Bev Steadman, and Charles Whynot were on the roster.

There were 22 newsletters,  Blastoffs, out of a possible, 45, assuming  that one was issued every Club meeting day.  The  Club Programs and Special Events listing contained  15 programs.  The newsletters were of various colors, legal size, and printed on both sides.

There is no record of expenditures only the  1983-84  budget dated July 18, 1983 except as noted below.   Letters dated January and February, 1984 stated that $1,500  was given to the Rotary Club of downtown  Manila, Philippines to purchase sewing machines and it is assumed that the principle beneficiary, Lifeline, was given the $5,000 budgeted.  Since the Shrimporee netted $21,378   it is suspected that the amount given to service projects was more. The amount of monies made from the fund raisers since the first recorded fund raiser in 1968 was $155,865.

The only Shrimporee information was several hand written  notes  and photos.  This was the last Shrimporee held at the Galveston County Park in League City, Texas.  Jim Hargrove was the Chairman.

There was a well prepared bounded, mostly typed  1983-84 Plans and Goal used  for the Club Assembly dated October 24, 1983.  The Plans and Goals were not put in the archives because all the information is plans and goals and there is no documentation of the corresponding accomplishments at the end of the year.  Letter dated October 31, 1983   from  District Governor Willis provided an evaluation of the Club's plans and goals for 1983-84.

The   membership was 144 members according to the June 30, 1984 Plans and Objectives.  There were 26 members added and 19 terminations for a net gain of 7 members.  The only  Club Roster   is dated August 11, 1983.    New rules for membership and attendance are in the February 27, 1984 Blastoff.

The Club was selected by District 589 as a Host Club for the Group Study Exchange between District 589 and Mexico District 416 in 1984.  A group leader and five young adult males from Mexico will be visiting us from May 6th to May 9th, 1984, staying in club members’ homes and being the program for the regular weekly luncheon meeting on May 7, 1984.

The November 1, 1983 Board meeting minutes stated that the Memorial Tree Planting Project honoring deceased Rotarians was underway.  A work party was planned for Saturday, November 19 at 9:00 a.m. at Bay Area YMCA.  A formal dedication will be scheduled for a later date.

An update on the Shuttle Payload Project is noted in the March 6, 1984 Board meeting minutes as follows.  Jack Winters, Chairman of the Space Shuttle Payload Committee, gave a report on the Get-Away-Special (GAS) payload being developed by students at Clear Lake High School.  The experiment examines the effect of wave action on live fish in zero-gravity and is being coordinated thru Goddard Space Flight Center, the NASA center in charge of GAS experiments flown on the Shuttle.  The students hold weekly meetings at the McDonnell Douglas building and are following a schedule leading toward a launch in the summer of 1985.  Johnson Space Center, as well as area aerospace contractors, are lending assistance as advisors.  The experiment apparatus should be designed, manufactured, tested, and ready for flight by January 1985.

There were eleven  Paul Harris Fellows  named for the Rotary Year bringing the total for the Club to 36 since 1972.  A record from The Rotary Foundation stated that the Club had contributed $49,014.5 to the Foundation as of December 1983.

The 75th Rotary International Convention was held June 3-7, 1984  in Birmingham, England.  There were 22,452 in attendance.  President Elect Hartman and his wife attended from Rotary of Space Center, Houston

Space Center Rotary Club's star shined brightly at the District 589 Conference held at the Hyatt Regency in San Antonio, Texas April 26-29, 1984.  There were 18 members in attendance with their ladies.  Bill Webb was selected  Club  President of the Year  by Governor Dan Willis.  He also was presented with a Paul Harris Fellow award, and even won a $100 door prize.  District Governor Dan presented Past District Governor Floyd Boze with a plaque for being his prime support for the past year.  (Floyd was the only PDG to receive this). The club's two entries for District scholarships also came through as winners.  The conference was treated to a talk by Miss Margaret McAndrews, a former scholarship winner, about her University year in Strasbourg, France.
From the May 7, 1984 Blastoff.
