About
Rotary |
|
| |
The
world's first service club, the Rotary Club of Chicago, Illinois, USA, was
formed on 23 February 1905 by Paul P. Harris, an attorney who wished to
recapture in a professional club the same friendly spirit he had felt in
the small towns of his youth. The name "Rotary" derived from the
early practice of rotating meetings among members' offices. |
