organization, was founded by Paul Harris in 1905 in Chicago, Illinois.

1,200,000 members and more than 29,000 international clubs in 162
countries.
Members of Rotary Clubs are business and professional men and women.
They join in community, vocational, and international service projects.

represents civilization and movement
SAN MARINO ROTARY
The San Marino Rotary Club was founded on April 12,
1939, by a group of San Marino business and civic leaders interested in
serving the community. The club’s activities have ranged from
rationing foods and guarding the skies during World War II to promoting
computer and lifesaving skills in distant countries today. There’s
always time for fun, too, with relaxed and informative meetings and
social occasions.
