We all wondered how would we survive as an organization this Rotary year. How would we Vocational continue our work in the community and in the world during COVID? Service It all started with a passion to serve. Each of us owes a debt of gratitude, first, to the Presidents and their clubs, and to the Assistant Governors, Chair District Officers, and the District Board of Directors. Thank you for your commitment, leadership, and guidance. Bryan Hilburn One of the most notable projects was our Feed 10 Million Meal Challenge � what an �opportunity�! With food insecurities at an all-time high, you Youth have provided over 2.4 million meals. The district�s recent $25K matching grant program will help us reach our goal of 3 million meals.

  • Rotary, the United Nations and UNESCO
    ROTARY , THE UNITED NATIONS AND UNESCO Rotary and the United Nations as well as UNESCO have a long history of working together and sharing similar visions for a more peaceful world. Rotary International, the United Nations, UNESCO and other UN specialised agencies have built a strong and productive partnership in achieving the UN Millennium Development Goals of 2000, including the global eradication of Polio, cultural exchanges, literacy, education, water/sanitation projects, and promotion of peace conferences around the world. Rotary’s relationship with the United Nations dates back to 1945 when some 49 Rotary members acted as delegates, advisors and consultants at the United Nations Charter Conference, San Francisco. The Charter had been passed unanimously on June 25, 1945 when the delegations of 50 countries have met at the Opera House in San Francisco. The invitation to Rotary International to participate in the United Nations Conference as consultant to the United States delegation was not merely a gesture of good will and respect toward a great organization. It was a simple recognition of the practical part Rotary’s members have played and will continue to play in the development of understanding among nations. By the late 1940's, Rotary International was already one of the largest "international" organizations in the world. There were more that 6,800 clubs in more than 81 countries. More importantly, Rotary was already working on projects around the world to diminish the causes of war and aggression. The Rotary Club of New York (which I have joined in 1983), as many other Rotary Clubs, has played an essential role in building support during the formative years of the United Nations and selecting New York City (instead of London) for the permanent Headquarters.

  • The Birth of District 345 Rotary International China, Hong Kong
    The Birth of District 345 Rotary International China, Hong Kong and Macao by Herbert K. Lau (劉敬恒) (Rotary China Historian) 1 July 2015 “Non-districted clubs in China, Hong Kong (Crown Colony) and Macao have been constituted into a new district, No. 345.” -- This is quoted from the Annual Report 1959-1960 by the Rotary International General Secretary George R. Means. Hence, on 1 July 1960, the number of districts in the Rotary World increased to 267 as a result of the decision. This was 55 years ago. The above statement could only be so concise to describe the District within a very long report of several dozens of items in 70 pages. The more precise description as administered by the first District 345 Governor would be like this: “The code No. 345 is allocated to a new group of 19 Rotary clubs with – 14 clubs located in the Taiwan Province of the Republic of China, 4 clubs in the British Crown Colony Hong Kong, and 1 club in the Portuguese Territory Macao.” The old rule in those years, to be qualified to form one District the minimum number of clubs was 15. Practically speaking, geographically, these 19 clubs were spread on both rims of the Taiwan Strait -- 5 clubs of Hong Kong and Macao on the west while the other 14 clubs on the east. Development on the Western Rim – Hong Kong and Macao Within these 19 clubs mentioned above, Hong Kong Rotary Club (香港扶輪社) was the eldest. So, the story is better to begin with this Club. When the Rotary Club of Hong Kong was admitted to Rotary International on 20 February 1931, it was a non-districted Club.

  • History of Rotary in District 7300
    ROTARY HISTORY OF THE GREATER PITTSBURGH AREA, DISTRICT 7300 July 2011 As are all Rotary Clubs worldwide, District 7300 is a direct descendant of the first Rotary Club organized in the city of Chicago on February 23, 1905, by Paul P. Harris, a young lawyer. Within the following five years, twenty Rotary Clubs had their beginnings in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, Boston, Pittsburgh and other cities in the United States. Pittsburgh, the first Rotary club in the present District 7300, was organized on December 2, 1910 as the twentieth Rotary Club. In that same year, the International Association of Rotary Clubs, now known as Rotary International, was formed. The nucleus of Rotary International was the early Rotary Clubs in the United States, Canada, England and Ireland. All Rotary Clubs were initially administered as one unit. However, in 1912, the Clubs were divided into six divisions, each administered by an Association Vice President. Pittsburgh Rotary Club was in the Eastern Division and was joined in 1913 by the McKeesport Rotary Club. Oscar T. Taylor served as the first president of the Pittsburgh Rotary Club and presided at its first meeting, which was attended by Rotary’s founder, Paul P. Harris. Mr. Taylor was a friend of Chesley Perry, first Rotary International Secretary. Soon thereafter, Rotary Districts were created for administrative purposes. Pittsburgh, McKeesport, Washington and Wilkes Barre were placed in District 3. Steward C. McFarland of Pittsburgh served as District Governor in 1916-1917. Many new Rotary Clubs were formed during this period which saw the area become part of District 6 with Edwin C.

  • The ABC's of Rotary
    The ABC’s of Rotary By Cliff Dochterman 1992-93 President Rotary International PREFACE These short articles about Rotary were first published in the weekly bulletin of the Rotary Club of North Stockton, California, U.S.A. That was well before their author, Cliff Dochterman, became president of Rotary International for the year 1992-93. Originally called "Did Ya Know?" the pieces were prepared to share interesting facts about Rotary International with members of the North Stockton club. Later, in response to requests from other Rotary clubs, the articles were reprinted in collected form. Now, President Cliff has brought the collection up to date in keeping with one of the emphases of his year in office as R.l. president--to help Rotarians learn more about the colorful history of their organization, its customs and traditions, and the current status of its global programs. The articles may be reprinted in Rotary club bulletins or presented as Rotary information at weekly club meetings.

  • The Power of Rotary
    The Power of Rotary You and I belong to one of the most powerful organizations in the World. When we wear this symbol, we are telling the World that we are human beings who place “Service Above Self” and live with integrity in our daily lives. We need to truly understand that with the power we have through Rotary comes a kind of potential that carries tremendous responsibility. We are powerful because we have strength in our numbers – 1.2m Rotarians and growing. We operate in over 200 countries and principalities in the world. We are structured and organized around 532 Districts and almost 33,000 clubs. We have a network of volunteer man and now woman power all over the world, enabling us to accomplish more than almost all other volunteer organizations. We have made a difference in the lives of countless individuals, particularly children as we have all but eliminated a most dreadful disease that affects mostly children. We have immunized countless children against other preventable childhood diseases, as well. A conservative estimate is that over the past ten years alone Rotary has directly affected the lives of 20 to 30 million people. Then consider the ripple effect of two billion children having been immunized against polio. Think about that – we are 1.2 million strong out of a world population of 6 billion and we have protected one/third of the world’s population against childhood diseases. We have won the respect of the United Nations, the World Health Organization, countless governments throughout the world, and now, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
