WHAT IS ROTARY

What would it take to change the world? Rotary's 1.2 million members believe it starts with a commitment to Service Above Self.

Picture
Rotary had its beginnings in 1905 when Chicago lawyer, Paul Harris (pictured aged 28) started meeting each week with three friends, to socialise and network.

This led to them looking for ways in which to help each other (the over-riding concept of Rotary). The name was derived from them rotating their weekly meetings between each other's office.
From this humble beginning Rotary has grown to an organisation with 34,000 clubs around the world.

Membership of Rotary clubs is open to men and women of every ethnic group, political persuasion, language and religious belief. Rotarians are a group of like minded people with high ethical standards, they share a common purpose - to provide humanitarian service, help build goodwill and peace in the world.

The power of Rotary is best demonstrated by the success of their biggest ever project; Polio Plus. Rotarians took on the daunting task of eradicating polio, the goal may have not yet been achieved but the end is now very much in sight.
