Rotary
Facts
Paul Harris formed the first
Rotary Club on February 23,
1905 with three of his law clients:
Silvester Schiele, mining engineer
Gustavus Loehr, and merchant
tailor Hiram Shorey.
It was this meeting that formed
the nucleus for the thousands
of clubs later organized throughout
the world.
Paul Harris named the new club
Rotary because the members met
in rotation at their various
places of business.
Today there are approximately
1.2 million Rotarians serving
in more than 29,000 clubs in
161 countries.
