World Peace and Understanding Day commemorate 117 years of Rotary International

World Peace and Understanding Day commemorate 117 years of Rotary International.

On February 23, 1905, four men met in a downtown office building in Chicago, Illinois. The meeting was organized because Attorney Paul Harris wanted to create a professional group representing the friendly smiles and small-town values he had known in his youth.

Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvestor Schiele, and Hiram Shorey decided to call their club Rotary, because their meeting locations would “Rotate.” The name Rotary International was officially adopted in 1922, as they encountered fellow professionals around the world who also craved friendly smiles and humanitarian values.

Over a century later, World Peace and Understanding Day marks the founding of one of the largest philanthropic organizations in the world.

Here to stay, we Serve to Change Lives. On this 117th Rotary Anniversary, we strive to provide more humanitarian actions for people, especially in Indonesia.

Together to be better.
