Rotary International Convention - Singapore
In 1905, attorney Paul Harris convened the first meeting of a Rotary Club in Chicago, Illinois along with Gustavus Loehr, Silverster Schiele, and Hiram Shorey. His goal was to bring together professionals across various vocations in his new home city and together, they began serving their community. His seemingly simple idea caught on and found its way to San Francisco, Oakland, and Seatle by 1908.
Just seven years later, the National Association of Rotary Clubs had more than 30 clubs throughout North America, including Club 29 in Oklahoma City, and had expanded its reach into Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. In 1912, the newly rebranded International Association of Rotary Clubs would continue to see its reach across the world grow with clubs charting throughout continental Europe.
By 1922, clubs had spread to Africa, Asia, Oceania, and South Africa and our organization was officially rebranded Rotary International.
Today, Rotary International boasts more than 35,000 clubs in more than 220 countries around the world and there is no better place to see just how far our reach goes than attending a Rotary International Convention. READ MORE
