Each year since 1949, a distinguished group has gathered to celebrate Dofasco employees who have reached the milestones of 25 and 40 years of service to the company and to induct them into the prestigious Quarter Century Club (QCC). It’s a much anticipated event, with food and drink and congratulations all around, highlighted with a commemorative portrait book, a special section of The Hamilton Spectator and service awards.
The first annual dinner was held at the Royal Connaught Hotel in 1949 when 54 employees were inducted. D.F. (Dan) Hassel, Vice President of Employee Relations, was Chairman of the meeting, a position he held until 1972.
At each meeting, the QCC celebration is called to order with the ringing of the Club bell by the evening’s Master of Ceremonies. The gavel’s inscription reads: “Presented by D.F. Hassel to The Dofasco Quarter Century Club.”
After more than 100 years, the tradition continues as the employees of ArcelorMittal Dofasco tip their hats each year to the newest members of this distinguished Club.
To this year’s inductees: “Thank you for your service and congratulations on your achievement!”
Time honoured traditions
Quarter Century Club bell, inscribed with each chairman’s name, is rung with a gavel, donated by the first Chairman, Dan Hassel, to begin the celebration banquet each year.
