Paul P. HarrisRotary Dream 1905

n Paul Harris is inspired to start an organization where men of different professions could gather in fellowship.

n Return to his boyhood days in Vermont where friends got together in fellowship to discuss the topics of the day.

Paul P. Harris

n “The thought persisted that I was experiencing only what had happened to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of others in the great city … I was sure that there must be many other young men who had come from farms and small villages to establish themselves in Chicago ... Why not bring them together? If others were longing for fellowship as I was, something would come of it.”

national and international cooperation, peace, and the successful resolution of conflict throughout their lives, in their careers, and through service activities.

The Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world.

The Rotary Dream Continues into the Future

There lies the future of Rotary because we cared.
