Do you have a vision? Rotary started with the vision of one man — Paul Harris. The Chicago attorney formed the Rotary Club of Chicago on 23 February 1905, so professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships. Over time, Rotary’s reach and vision extended to humanitarian service. The commitment endures today through an organization that remains truly international. Within 16 years after being founded, Rotary had clubs on six continents. Members now span the globe, working to solve the most challenging problems. The Rotary Club of Salem Creekside is committed to helping those in need.
