Paul Harris
In the beginning…
The first Rotary Club was organized in Chicago in 1905, by Paul P. Harris.
The club, with four members, met in rotation at the offices of the members - thus the name Rotary.
There are approximately 34,000 clubs with 1.2 million members worldwide.

7. Service 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 restrooms in downtown Chicago.
Rotary became the world’s first “service club”.
