The world's first service club, the Rotary Club of Chicago, was formed in 1905 by Paul Harris, who wished to capture in a professional club the same friendly spirit he had felt in the small towns of his youth.
In the last 100 years Rotary has grown from the humble beginnings in Chicago to the international service organization it is today.
The Rotary name derived from the early practice of rotating meetings among members' offices.
ALL ROTARIANS WELCOME!
