HISTORY |
|
Paul Harris was an attorney who
wished to capture in a professional club the same friendly spirit he had in
the small towns of his youth. The name Rotary derived from the
early practise of rotating meetings among members’ offices. By 1921, Rotary clubs has been
formed on six continents and Rotary International was formed a
year later. Rotary International recognises the
value of diversity within individual clubs and encourages clubs to assess
their own membership criteria, and to include a range of professions, gender,
age and ethnicity. Rotary today has 1.2 million members
worldwide in more than 34,118 clubs in 200 countries The Rotary Club of Morwell was
formed on 18 December 1945 and has served the local community as well as
contributed national and international projects since then. |
