Enid Rotary Club
email: rotary575@wheatcom.com

In 1905 Paul Harris, a lawyer, and three young, ambitious friends organized the first service club, Rotary, in the frontier town of Chicago. The club's popularity soon spread among middle-class businessmen throughout the United States, and by 1921 international clubs had formed. The name Rotary emanated from the fact that the meeting place rotated among different hotels and restaurants. Originally, the club required that no two members have the same occupation, so that the members could profit by doing business with each other. Eventually, this changed in order to promote growth within the club, and their motto became "Service Above Self."

Grand Natioinal Quail Club
P O Box 5039, (580) 233-5682, 514 W Broadway, (email: quailhuntok@sbcglobal.net)

The idea itself emerged from a most unlikely setting in the fall of 1966. Around a campfire on a cold fall night high in the Wind River Range of Wyoming, more than 1,000 miles from Enid, United States Senator (then Governor) Henry Bellmon sat chatting with Dr. E.E. Chambers of Enid and Chuck Palmer of Oklahoma City about the famed One-shot Antelope Hunt in which they had just participated. Governor Bellmon observed that Wyoming's antelope were almost as plentiful as Oklahoma's quail, and he wondered, "Why couldn't Oklahoma have a celebrity-type quail hunt?" Those few words, spoken half in thought, gave birth to an idea that soon would be established as an annual event and tradition in its own right.

Back in Enid, Dr. Chambers and Chuck Palmer picked up the idea and worked through the winter developing ideas, objectives and a basic framework. The Grand National is truly a state/community effort consistent with the proud tradition of Oklahoma and its genuine, friendly, progressive people. For the nation's top wing shots and most avid quail hunters, the Grand National represents the pinnacle. There is nothing else like it-no other place where a participant can join with a select fraternity of sportsmen and celebrities dedicated to the enhancement of the long-standing game bird hunting traditions of America.
