Dozens of fathers and sons have joined Rapid City Rotary Club in its 101-year history. Rick Rogers' father, Doug, insisted that his son join Rapid City Rotary Club, and Rick hopes someday his children will continue the tradition. "I got into it because of my dad and I had so much fun," Rick said. "I loved rubbing elbows with … some of those guys that were pillars of Rapid City, and I was having lunch with them and getting to talk to them."
