Rotary International is service organization whose mission statement is to bring together business and professional leaders to give humanitarian service around the world. The Rotary Club was founded in 1905 when attorney Paul P. Harris and three of his business associates, Gustave Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram E. Shorey, met in Loehr's office in Chicago, IL. The origin of the club's name came from the founders rotating their weekly club meetings between each other's offices. The first international club emerged in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1910. In 1922, the club changed its name to Rotary International. Today, there are over 35,000 Rotary Clubs worldwide. This pamphlet contains the stenotyped proceedings of the three-day conference.
