Our club was chartered in 1963. It was culminated with the help of two previous clubs that were not very active. It is probably one of a few clubs worldwide that was allowed to merge and obtain a new charter.

What is Rotary?
The original Rotary Club was organized in Chicago, Illinois by Paul P. Harris, a lawyer, and first met February 23, 1905. The name "Rotary" was chosen because the Club met in rotation at each member's place of business. From this beginning, the Rotary idea of friendship, fellowship, and service- to- others has spread to six continents.

What is a Rotarian?
Rotarians are persons who look beyond themselves to their community, nation, and world. They seek the truth; they let fairness govern their relationships; they strive to benefit all in every interpersonal relationship. In short, they put service above self.

The Four-Way Test of the Things We Think, Say or Do:
