Rotary started with the vision of one man - Paul Harris. The Chicago attorney formed the Rotary Club of Chicago on 23 February 1905, so professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships.
Over time Rotary's reach and vision gradually exended to humanitarian service. Members havea long track record of addressing challenges in their communities and around the world.
