5. In the beginning…
Rotary Founder
Paul Harris
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.
Growth began immediately. Less that 15 years
later there were over 1,000 clubs around the world.
6. Service Above Self
Rotary was not long to recognize that
fellowship alone would not keep a group
together — there needed to be a purpose.
The first service project was a to buy a
new horse for a preacher whose horse
had died in Chicago.
Rotary became the world’s first service
club.
