What is Rotary?

The Object of Rotary

Rotary International
Founded by Chicago businessman Paul Harris in 1905, Rotary is the world’s oldest service club organization. Rotary members are business and professional persons united world-wide to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build good will and peace in the world. 1.2 million Rotarians in over 32,000 clubs in 200 countries and geographical areas carry out service projects in their local communities and abroad to address such critical issues as poverty, health, hunger, illiteracy and the environment.
