🔎 KNOW YOUR ROTARY: The Birth of The Rotary Foundation

Did you know that The Rotary Foundation began with just $26.50? 💙💛

In 1917, Rotary President Arch Klumph proposed creating an endowment “for the purpose of doing good in the world.” His vision was simple but powerful: bring Rotarians together to pool resources and create lasting change.

That same year, the Rotary Club of Kansas City, Missouri, USA, made the first contribution—$26.50—to what would eventually become The Rotary Foundation. By 1928, the Foundation was formally named The Rotary Foundation, with a Board of Trustees established to guide its mission and future.

🌎 Fast-forward more than a century, and that small beginning has grown into a global force for good—supporting efforts to promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, support education, grow local economies, and save mothers and children.

✨ It’s a great reminder that you don’t have to start with a lot to make a difference. When we give together, we change the world.

💛 Service Above Self

John Marshall, Gilmer County Post 2 Commissioner, was our guest speaker for our February 23 meeting. John's elected term is ending December 31, 2026, and he has decided not to seek reelection this year. He will retire along with his wife, Rotarian Penelope Marshall, a member of our club. John reviewed some of the accomplishments of the Board of Commissioners during his service, gave us some insights into the unfinished work that remains, and shared his personal guiding principles for public service. Gilmer County has been fortunate to have Commissioners of his caliber in our service.
