🔍 Rotary Fun Fact of the Week:

The very first Rotary meeting took place on February 23, 1905, in Chicago, Illinois. Founder Paul P. Harris, a young attorney, invited three friends—a coal dealer, a tailor, and a mining engineer—to meet and discuss the idea of fellowship among local business professionals. The group shared a vision of bringing ethical standards and community service into their daily work. That simple gathering of four men sparked a movement that would grow into Rotary International, now 1.4 million members strong across more than 46,000 clubs worldwide.

It’s a powerful reminder that big change often starts with a small meeting—and a shared purpose.

Every single one of us matters, every single one of us has a role to play, and every single one of us makes a difference every single day.
