There's a new exhibit at the Chimczuk Museum honouring 100 years of service from the Rotary Club of Windsor 1918.
Two rooms are filled with artifacts displaying the accomplishments over the past ten decades which include military service and community organizations geared to helping children as well as an iron lung used in the fight against polio.
Co-chair of the history committee at rotary Peter Hrastovec says rotary has played a role in several initiatives in Windsor over the past ten decades.
"One hundred years of service where we have opened hospitals, Grace Hospital, Met Hospital, the precursor to Windsor Regional Hospital, the John McGivney Centre, the Maryvale Home for Adolescence."

He says it's about honouring the past.
"To celebrate history is to celebrate service, to celebrate service is to hopefully inspire others to follow in our suit."
Hrastovec adds rotary has played a role in everything from opening hospitals to organizing Art in the Park.
"These little things that we do, collectively, make up for an incredible service club that is always looking for new challenges, so we were excited about preserving, protecting and honouring the last 100 years, we can't wait to see what the next 100 will bring."
The exhibit will be on display until the end of December.
