  2. THIS IS ROTARY Rotary is a global network of community volunteers. An Organization of 1.2 million business and professional leaders from more than 200 countries, who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

  3. Rotary Founder Paul Harris In the Beginning . . . • The first Rotary Club was organized in Chicago in 1905, by Paul P. Harris. • He and three friends, Silvester Schiele, a coal dealer, Hiram Shorey, a merchant tailor, and Gustavus Loehr, a mining engineer, met in rotation at each other’s offices - thus the name Rotary.

  4. “Service Above Self” • Rotary was not long to recognize that fellowship alone would not keep a group together — there needed to be a purpose. • The first service project occurred in 1907, construction of Public Toilets in Chicago ­ addressing a real community need. • Rotary became the world’s first “service club”.

  5. Rotary is an International Organization • There are currently more than 33,000 clubs worldwide. • These are distributed in 200 countries throughout the world through 530 Districts. • That’s over 1.2 million members world-wide.
