About Us

A young attorney, Paul Harris, founded Rotary in Chicago in 1905. Within five years it had become the “National Association of Rotary Clubs” with 16 member clubs. In only seventeen years Rotary made its way to Huntington Beach, and our club of 18 charter members was formed in 1923.

Object Of Rotary

The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:

-The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service.
High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society.

-The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life.

-The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
