4 PAUL P. HARRIS The Founder of Rotary ( ) Paul P. Harris, a lawyer, was the founder of Rotary, the world s first and most international service club. Rotary is an organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide to provide humanitarian service, promote high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Born in Racine, Wisconsin on 19 April 1868, Paul was the second of six children born to George N. Harris and Cornelia Brian Harris. At age 3 he moved to Wallingford, Vermont where he grew up in the care of his paternal grandparents. Married to Jean Thomas Harris ( ), they had no children. He received an LL.B. from the University of Iowa and received an honorary LL.D. from the University of Vermont. In 1896, he went to Chicago to practice law. One evening Paul went with a professional friend to his suburban home. After dinner, as they strolled through the neighborhood, Paul s friend introduced him to various tradesmen in their stores. This reminded Paul of his New England village and it occurred to him, Why not have a fellowship composed of businessmen from different occupations, without restrictions of politics or religion? On 23 February 1905, Paul Harris formed the first Rotary Club with three other businessmen: Silvester Schiele, a coal merchant, Gustavus Loehr, a mining engineer, and Hiram Shorey, a merchant tailor. Paul Harris named the new club Rotary because members met in rotation at their various places of business. When Paul Harris became president of the club in its third year, he was convinced that the Rotary club could be developed into an important service movement and strove to extend Rotary to other cities. When President emeritus Paul Harris passed away on 27 January 1947, his dream had grown from an informal meeting of four men to some 6,000 Rotary clubs developed for the purpose of service and fellowship.!4

As his country s national PolioPlus chair, Ravindran headed a joint task force of the Sri Lankan government, UNICEF, and Rotary and worked closely with UNICEF to successfully negotiate a ceasefire with the northern militants during National Immunization Days. Aided by Rotary s efforts, Sri Lanka reported its last case of polio in He also chaired the Schools Reawakening project, in which Rotary District 3220 raised more than $12 million to rebuild over 20 tsunami-devastated schools to benefit 14,000 children.

11 The Object of Rotary The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster: 1. FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service; 2. SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society; 3. THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life; 4. FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service. The Four-Way Test From the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical standards in their professional lives. One of the world s most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics is The Four-Way Test, which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor (who later served as RI President in 1955). Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The Four-Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred languages and published in thousands of ways. It asks the following four questions: Of the things we think, say or do: 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?!11

12 PRESIDENTIAL CITATION Your Rotary, Rotaract, or Interact club can earn a Presidential Citation from President K.R. Ravindran for achieving goals that strengthen Rotary and your club. Activities include growing your membership, developing sustainable service projects, giving to The Rotary Foundation, and building awareness of Rotary in your community. See all of this year's goals for: Rotary clubs Rotaract clubs Interact clubs DEADLINES All activities must be completed between 1 July 2015 and 1 April Rotary and Rotaract clubs must have their accomplishments entered in our database by 1 April. Interact clubs should work with their club sponsors to report their accomplishments by 15 April. ONLINE REPORTING: ROTARY & ROTARACT CLUBS Rotary and Rotaract club and district officers no longer need to submit paper forms and reports to verify that their clubs have completed the citation goals. Instead, some activities will be verified when club leaders enter information in Rotary Club Central, while others, like donations to the Foundation or participation in a discussion group, will be confirmed automatically. New online reports make it easy for club leaders to track progress on each of the citation's goals. You can also see which activities your clubs still need to complete as well as verify Rotary's data.!12

26 Rotary s Avenues of Service Throughout Rotary s rich history, Rotarians have strived to achieve the ideal of Service Above Self. Rotary s Avenues of Service form the foundation on which all club activity is based. Through Club Service, we have fun, build lasting friendships, and make sure that our club functions well. Through Vocational Service, we volunteer our professional skills to serve others and promote integrity in everything we do.
