History

 

Past Presidents

 

 

 

The Tacoma Rose Society was officially organized on March 14, 1911 in a meeting at the Tacoma Commercial Club on C Street.  The Society was incorporated under the laws of The State of Washington on May 3, 1913 and “its affairs were put into thorough business order.”  The first president of TRS was Carl Morissee.  He was succeeded by Herbert Hunt in 1913, and the society maintains a continuous list of Past Presidents to this day.
