“Rotary”?

The club, with four members, met in rotation at the offices of the members -
thus the name Rotary.
Service Above Self
Rotary was quick to recognize that fellowship alone would not keep a group together — there needed to be a purpose.
The first project was to construct public washrooms in downtown Chicago.
Thus, Rotary became the world’s first “service club”.

aPresident
and a Board of Directors
elected from all over the world.
