On May 4, 1987 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that women could not be excluded from Rotary on the basis of gender. The Rotary Club of Cumberland was established in 1921. Sixty-seven years later, in 1988, Anne Gormer became the first female member. Shirley Giarritta and Carolyn Brown also joined that year. In 1994 Amy Schwab-Owens was elected as the Cumberland Rotary Club's first woman President. (Al Feldstein had served as President in 1993 and Amy was his First Vice-President.)
