HISTORY OF THE

ROTARY FOUNDATION

At the 1917 convention, outgoing RI President Arch C. Klumph proposed to set up an endowment for the purpose of doing well in the world. In 1928, it was renamed The Rotary Foundation, and it became a distinct entity within Rotary International.

GROWTH OF THE FOUNDATION

In 1929, the Foundation made its first gift of $500 to the International Society for Crippled Children. The organization, created by Rotarian Edgar F. Daddy Allen, later grew into Easter Seals.

When Rotary founder Paul Harris died in 1947, contributions

began pouring in to Rotary International, and the Paul Harris Memorial

Fund was created to build the Foundation

INTERNATIONAL FAMILY PICNIC TO HONG KONG MACAU SHENZEN

RI PRESIDENT RTN K.R. RAVINDRAN

In life, sometimes the experiences that matter the

most are the briefest. They pass in the blink of an eye: a

few days, a few hours, a few moments. They are the

experiences that illuminate the landscape of our

memory, shining brightly even years later. They are the

moments in which we see, suddenly, something we had

not seen; we understand something we had not

understood; we forge a connection we had not expected For me, this has been a Rotary year like no other. I

have been around the world, traversing countries and

continents. I have been to places I had never seen before, and I have returned to familiar places and seen

them, as for the first time, through the lens of Rotary. When you travel for Rotary, you travel with a different sense of perspective and a different sense of purpose. There is an awareness of being part of something larger

than yourself. When you board a plane or a train, or leave your home in the dark

hours of early morning, you may be leaving for lands unknown but at your destination, there will be no strangers. There will be Rotarians, waiting and

welcoming. There will be work to do, something to learn, and perhaps something to

teach.

There will be connections to forge, friendships to build, and memories to carry for a

lifetime.

This year, I have been the traveler, and I have been welcomed by Rotarians around

the world. A few months from now, from 28 May to 1 June, I invite you to step into

my experience: allow me to welcome you to Seoul for our 107th International

Convention.

The Koreans have a saying: . In English we would say, "When a person is born, send them to Seoul." For Seoul is a city of opportunities: a

wonderful destination with rich traditions, modern conveniences, and a culture

unlike any other. But I ask you to join me in Seoul not only for all of this, but also

for the experiences you will have there with your fellow Rotarians.

For a brief moment in time, you will experience Rotary as I have experienced it: in

all its diversity, all its warmth, and all its potential. You will be greeted as an old

friend by people you have never met; you will share your thoughts, even without a

shared language. You will learn with wonder of what Rotary has achieved, and leave

inspired to achieve even more.

Before this Rotary year comes to its close, I ask you to do what I have done: to leave your homes, to board your flights, to travel toward the unknown with an open heart

and an open mind, confident that Rotary will welcome you. Join me, and your

fellow Rotarians, as we Connect with Korea Touch the World.

EVENT CALENDER

In 1932, Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor created The

Four-Way Test. The test, which has been translated into more than 100 languages, asks the following questions: Of the things we think, say or do

Is it the TRUTH?

Is it FAIR to all concerned?

Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

o

Paul P. Harris, an attorney, wanted to

create a professional group with the

same friendly spirit he felt in the

small towns of his youth. On 23

February 1905, Harris, Gustavus

Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram

Shorey gathered at Loehrs office in Room 711 of the Unity Building in

downtown Chicago. This was the first

Rotary club meeting. They decided to

call the new club Rotary after the practice of rotating meeting locations.

Within five years clubs had formed across the country, from San

Francisco to New York.

In August 1910, Rotarians held their first convention in Chicago. The 16

clubs that existed at that time united to form the National Association of

Rotary Clubs.

In 1912, the name changed to International Association of Rotary Clubs

to reflect the addition of clubs in other countries. The name Rotary

International was adopted in 1922.

By July 1925, Rotary had grown to more than 2,000 clubs and an

estimated 108,000 members on six continents.

Rotarys reputation attracted presidents, prime ministers, and a host of other luminaries to its ranks among them author Thomas Mann, diplomat Carlos P. Romulo, and composer Jean Sibelius.

As Rotary grew, members pooled their resources and used their talents to

serve their communities. The organization's dedication to this ideal is

best expressed in its motto: Service Above Self.

Hiram Shorey, and Paul P. Harris,
