Rotary is an opportunity to build lifelong friendships and experience the personal fulfillment of providing volunteer service to others. An organization of business and professional leaders, Rotary provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and builds goodwill and peace in the world. The world’s first service club, Rotary began with the formation of the Rot
ary Club of Chicago on February 23, 1905. The club was started by a young lawyer, Paul P. Harris, and three of his friends. They wished to recapture the friendly spirit they had felt among business people in the small towns in which they had lived. Their weekly meetings “rotated” among their offices, providing the new service club with its name. Today, Rotary flourishes with some 29,000 clubs and 1.2 million men and women as club members, providing community service in virtually every nation in the world. The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
Development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service. High ethical standards in business and professions. Application of the ideal service by every Rotarian to his personal, business and community life; and
Advancement of international understanding , goodwill and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service. For information on joining Algonac Rotary
