Early History of the Yk Club

Paul Harris founded Rotary in Chicago in 1905.  He and others developed the object of Rotary which is "to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise."  In honour of our founder Rotary Clubs award Paul Harris Fellowships whereby the club donates US$1,000.00 to the Rotary Foundation in the name of the recipients to be used for Rotary Projects throughout the world.  Some but certainly not all recipients are Rotarians.
