THE HISTORY OF ROTARY:
THEN, AND NOW

Rotary members have been addressing challenges for over 115 years. Rotary links 1.2 million members to form an organization of international scope. It started with the vision of one man — Paul Harris. The Chicago attorney formed the Rotary Club of Chicago on 23rd of February 1905, so professionals with diverse backgrounds could network, exchange ideas, form meaningful, lifelong friendships, and give back to their communities.
