What is Rotary?
Rotary is an opportunity to build lifelong friendships and experience the personal fulfillment of providing volunteer service to others. An organization of business and professional leaders, Rotary provides humanitarian services, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and builds goodwill and peace in the world.
The world's first service club, Rotary began with the formation of the Rotary Club of Chicago, IL, USA on February 23, 1905. The club was started by a young lawyer, Paul P. Harris, and three of his friends. They wish to recapture the friendly spirit they had felt amoung business people in the small town in which they had lived. Their weekly meetings "rotated" among their offices, providing the new service club with its name.
Today, Rotary flourishes with some 27,000 clubs and 1.2 million men and women members, providing community service in virtually every nation in the world.
