History
In 1917, Arch Klumph, a Rotarian from Ohio, who was the 6th President of Rotary International, convened the International Convention in Atlanta, Georgia. When the convention was over, Rotary had $26.50 left, in which President Arch decided to put aside, as an endowment "to do some good in the world." Donations trickled in and twelve years later, the Rotary Foundation was formed. During those years, most of the money was used to fund scholarships for students wishing to further peace in the world.
In 1947, Rotary founder Paul Harris died at the age of 78. When this happened, the Rotary Foundation was blessed with a large amount of donations from Rotarians all over the world. At that point, the Rotary International Foundation began to realize that these donations could be used as powerful tool for fueling our work around the world. A Foundation Board was appointed and funds began to be used for humanitarian projects, as well as scholarships.
Our Club's Goals
