Lin Chi-Chun (Peiping) 凌其峻 (北平)
海歸陶瓷工程師 — 凌其峻 北平扶輪社的唯一地區總監 中華扶輪史研究員 劉敬恒 – 2016年12月1日 凌其峻(Lin Chi-Chun / C. C. Lin)（1897年－1968 年），北平扶輪社(Peiping Rotary Club) 社員(職業分類–毛紡地毯業) ；1938-1939 年度任理事；1940-1941 年度任秘書；1945-1946 年 度任副社長；1946-1947年度任社長。 北平扶輪社，原是北京扶輪社(Peking Rotary Club)，於 1924 年 8 月 30 日正式加盟國際扶 輪(證書編號 1814)。1928 年國民革命軍北伐，攻佔京都(北京)，北洋政府結束運作。北伐勝利 後，中華民國中央政府以南京為首都。撤銷原京兆地方，6 月起京都遂改名為「北平特別市」。 根據政府的規範，「北京扶輪社」因而需要更名為「北平扶輪社」，報備國際扶輪秘書處。直到 1949 年 10 月 1 日，中華人民共和國建政，定都北京。於是，「北平扶輪社」恢復原名為「北京 扶輪社」。遺憾地，1950 年 6 月 25 日朝鮮戰爭爆發，中國和美國交戰。另一方面，社會主義 中國要求所有扶輪社都必須經過地方政府審查後註冊；所有外籍人員必須離開中國。由於種種政 治和社會環境的不利好，「北京扶輪社」最終於1951年 6月26日自行解散。 今天，在2005年授證成立的北京扶輪社(Beijing Rotary…
