History:

In 1905, Rotary was founded in Chicago by a man named Paul Harris, who was striving to create a way to meet with other business people to regularly exchange ideas and concerns and promote their vocations. His efforts were met with enthusiasm and the organization has grown substantially throughout the years. Today, Rotary boasts over 1.2 million members in more than 34,000 clubs worldwide.
