What is Rotary?

Rotary International

In Chicago in 1905, a man named Paul Harris met with several business friends to talk about mutual business problems. He felt that talking about matters that concerned each of them would prove beneficial not only to themselves but to the community at large. The men began holding weekly meetings. They decided to “rotate” the meeting sites to their respective offices. Thus “Rotary” was born. Today, Rotary’s main objective is service, both locally and internationally. More than 1.2 million men and women comprise over 34,000 clubs throughout the world. In terms of time and money, Rotary is the largest independent giving organization in the world.
