☘️ Happy International Tea Day ☕

Across countries, cultures,, tea has always brought people together — often before a single word is spoken.

From early morning chai conversations to late evening fellowship gatherings, tea is more than a drink… it’s warmth, friendship, tradition, and shared humanity.

Today, we celebrate the simple power of tea to connect people, spark ideas, and strengthen friendships across the world.

Here’s to refilling the cups, continuing the conversations, and growing fellowship one sip at a time. Sláinte!

Happy International Tea Day to !

February 23, 1905, is considered the birthday of Rotary International, when Paul Harris met in Chicago with three of his friends and business clients to form what became known as the Rotary Club. Today marks the 121st birthday of this wonderful service organization, which now reaches worldwide.

This medallion, a gift to the Paul & Jean Harris Home by Rotarian Wolfgang Ziegler, features a likeness of Paul Harris on the front, and on the reverse, a list of countries outside of the United States where Rotary expanded, starting with Canada in 1910.
