A little history - and a BIG INVITATION

We at the Fountain Valley Rotary are proud of what we've accomplished over the years.  We at the Fountain Valley Rotary would also love that you become a part of it.  And when you do, you become a participant in a proud history.  One that started with these four gentlemen: 
T he world's first service club, the Rotary Club of Chicago, was formed on 23 February 1905 by Paul P. Harris, an attorney who wished to capture in a professional club the same friendly spirit he had felt in the small towns of his youth. The Rotary name derived from the early practice of rotating meetings among members' offices.
Rotary's popularity spread, and within a decade, clubs were chartered from San Francisco to New York to Winnipeg, Canada. By 1921, Rotary clubs had been formed on six continents. The organization adopted the Rotary International name a year later.

But that was then, and this is now.  Join us every Tuesday Morning at 7:30 at the Fountain Valley Region Hospital Conference Room.
