Rotarians celebrate Rotary’s 106th anniversary
A closing-bell ceremony at the New York Stock Exchange was rung by RI President Ray Klinginsmith and Michael Watson, Sanofi Pasteur’s vice president of global immunization policy. Watch the event at www.nyse.com .
The date is significant to Rotary. February 23 marks the 106 anniversary of the first Rotary Club meeting which was held in Chicago.
As part of Wednesday’s event in New York, Rotary was able to highlight its 26 year mission to eradicate polio. In 2010, there were fewer than a thousand new cases of polio for the first time in recorded history.
Happy Birthday Rotary 106 Years Old
The first four Rotarians — Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, Hiram E. Shorey, Paul P. Harris.
On 23 February 1905, Paul P. Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram E. Shorey gathered in Loehr’s office for what would become known as the first Rotary club meeting.
Harris’s desire for camaraderie among business associates brought together these four men and eventually led to an international organization of service and fellowship.
106 YEARS ON HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROTARY!
Past Chair of ROTI Rotarians On The Internet meets Paul Harris in Evanston Illinois. Paul founded Rotary 106 years ago. Paul would be amazed at what has become of his idea back in Chicago all those years ago. Rotary continues to go from strength to strength.

Making Up a Meeting
One of the benefits of being in Rotary is the ability to make up a meeting in any country, city, town or village that has a Rotary club. Recently I made up at the Rotary Club of Ballarat West in Victoria. It was a social meeting and we were given a tour of some of Ballarat’s best known statues of which Ballarat is famous for. We finished the evening with pizzas and great fellowship. Thank you Ballarat West for your kind hospitality.
