In the beginning…In the beginning…

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

Rotary Founder

Paul Harris

The club, with four members, met in rotation at the offices of the members - thus the name Rotary.

The main purpose was fellowship and business

Service Above SelfService Above Self

Rotary was not long to recognize that fellowship alone would not keep a group together — there needed to be a purpose.

First project was public washrooms in downtown Chicago.

Rotary became the world’s first “Service Club”.

Rotary International is governed by a president and a board of directors elected from all over the world.

R.I. Pres. Sakuji Tanaka

Annually each District elects a District Governor

Similarly each Club elects a President.
