What are Rotary Clubs?
Rotary clubs are part of Rotary International, a service club organization founded in 1905 in Chicago by an attorney, Paul P. Harris. In its present day form, over 32,000 Rotary clubs exist, in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. The Rotary motto is “service above self,” which relates to service in the community, workplace and the world. Rotary clubs are comprised of business and professional leaders who serve the community in which the club is located.
