7 CELEBRATION OF ROTARY INTERNATIONAL 111 TH BIRTHDAY Rotary International 111th Birthday Celebration Rotary Club of Mira Road Celebrated 111 th Birthday of Rotary International. 111 th Anniversary of Rotary - a Great Service Organization. 23 rd Feb 2016 In the fall of 1900, Paul P. Harris met fellow attorney Bob Frank for dinner on the north side of Chicago. They walked around the area, stopping at shops along the way. Harris was impressed that Frank was friendly with many of the shopkeepers. Harris had not seen this kind of camaraderie among businessmen since moving to Chicago in He wondered if there was a way to channel it because it reminded him of growing up in Wallingford, Vermont. Harris eventually persuaded local businessmen to join him in a club for community and fellowship. His vision laid the foundation for Rotary. The thought persisted that I was experiencing only what had happened to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of others in the great city I was sure that there must be many other young men who had come from farms and small villages to establish themselves in Chicago... Why not bring them together? If others were longing for fellowship as I was, something would come of it. This is how Rotary Club was founded on 23 rd Feb Rotarians from Rotary Club of Mira Road got together and celebrated 111 th Birthday of Rotary International. The Celebration ended with Cake Cutting Ceremony and Fellowship.
