Sunday, 23 February, will mark 109 years since Paul P. Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram E. Shorey gathered in Loehr’s office in Room 711 of the Unity Building in downtown Chicago for what would become known as the first Rotary club meeting.

From a swimming marathon organized by Rotary members in England to a balloon launch in Portugal, Rotary clubs are observing the occasion. How is your club or district planning to celebrate? Send us photos of your event, and we will create a special gallery on Rotary Voices.
