Today, February 23, we celebrate the founding of Rotary International.
On this day in 1905, attorney Paul P. Harris brought together a small group of professionals in Chicago, Illinois, with a simple but powerful idea, to create a place where people could build lasting friendships while serving their communities.
The name “Rotary” came from those early days, when members rotated meeting locations among their offices.
121 years later, that same spirit of connection, integrity, and service continues to unite Rotarians around the world and right here in our own community.
Service Above Self. 💙
We love being Rotarians and serving our community.
