RotaryRotaryAwareness DayAwareness Day

The first Rotary club was organized in Chicago in 1905, by Paul P. Harris.

The club, with four members, met in rotation at the offices of the members.

Rotary soon recognized that fellowship alone would not keep a group together... there needed to be a purpose.

Service Above Self

The first service project was public restrooms in downtown Chicago, IL.

Rotary became the world’s first “service club” organization.

Formulated the Object of Rotary in 1910.
