Viljem (Wiljem) Krejči, Ph.D., (1890-1962) went down in the Slovene history as a very active member of the Rotary Club Ljubljana and the Ljubljana "Sokol" movement, as well as president of the Red Cross and the Slovene Hunting Organisation. Even though he was a good lawyer, he was also a humanist and supported humanitarian activities in the then Drava Banovina (Yugoslav Slovenia). He was an excellent organiser and the "big father" of the Rotary Club Ljubljana, which was established on 14 March 1931 in Hotel Union. Krejči was the Rotary Club President in the years 1932-1933 and 1937.1938. From a political point of view, he was very close to the select circle of Ljubljana liberals and was, therefore, government commissioner of Ljubljana for a shorter period in 1924. He never held any other important political functions.
