The Beginnings of Rotary The greater worldwide Rotary movement was started in 1905 by a young Chicago lawyer by the name of Paul Harris. He was new to the city and soon befriended some other young professionals. They began to meet periodically at each other’s offices for lunch. From these early get-togethers, Paul Harris got the idea that the group should do something to help their community. Their first project was to install a public washroom, which was new for the time. As they continued to ‘rotate’ their meetings weekly amongst their offices, they decided to call their new movement ‘Rotary’. From those humble beginnings, Rotary International has grown to a movement of 1.3 million people (men and women) participating in about 22,000 Rotary Clubs in most countries of the world. Over time, Paul Harris outlined a number of quotes that encapsulated the fundamental principles of Rotary. Some of these are: • Provide leadership through service, • Show the importance of kindness and gratitude through your actions, • There is strength in diversity, • and the imperative to actively create positive change. His words continue to inspire Rotarians and non-Rotarians alike to live purposefully and contribute to a better world.

This later became, ‘Service Above Self’. This emulates a Rotarians commitment of providing service to others. Paul Harris also said, “The foundation upon which Rotary is built is friendship; on no less firm a foundation could it have stood”.
