2 On 23 February 1905, Paul P. Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram E. Shorey gathered in Loehr s office for what would become known as the first Rotary club meeting. Harris s desire for camaraderie among business associates brought together these four men and eventually led to an international organization of service and fellowship. Details of first four Rotarians are given below, and about Harry L. Ruggles, who is often called the "fifth Rotarian." Rotary s founder, Harris, was born in Wisconsin, USA, on 19 April 1868. He was raised by his paternal grandparents in Vermont and attended the University of Vermont, Princeton, and the University of Iowa. He was Rotary president from 1910 to 1912 and a member of the Rotary Club of Chicago until his death on 27 January 1947. Loehr, a mining engineer, was born on 18 October 1864 in Carlinville, Illinois. He was a Rotarian for only a few years, never holding office at the club or international level. But that first Rotary meeting was held in his office, Room 711 of the Unity Building in downtown Chicago. He died in Chicago on 23 May 1918. A Rotarian for only a few years, Shorey served as recording secretary during the club s first year. He was born in Maine in August 1862 and died in March 1944. Schiele, a coal dealer, served as the Chicago club s first president in 1905 and Rotary International s third treasurer in 1945. Born in Terre Haute, Indiana, in June 1870, Schiele attended Terre Haute Business College and served in the U.S. Army during the Spanish-American War. He was president of the Schiele Coal Company from 1902 until his retirement in 1939. He and Harris became lifelong friends and lived near each other on the South Side of Chicago. Schiele died on 17 December 1945 and is buried near Harris at Mount Hope Cemetery. Originally from Michigan, Ruggles was a graduate of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and joined Rotary at its second meeting. He was treasurer of the Chicago club during its first year, president from 1908 to 1910, and a Rotary director from 1912 to 1913. He is known for having introduced singing to Rotary club meetings. His printing company, H.L. Ruggles & Co., printed the first issue of The National Rotarian and the first Rotary songbook. He died on 23 October 1959, an honorary member of seven clubs in addition to his home club, the Rotary Club of Chicago. Paul Harris, The founder 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, form meaningful, lifelong friendships, and give back to their communities. After setting up his law practice in Chicago, Paul Harris gathered several business associates to discuss the idea of forming an organization for local professionals. On 23 February 1905, Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram Shorey gathered at Loehr s office in Room 711 of the Unity Building in downtown Chicago. This was the first Rotary club meeting. I was sure that there must be many other young men who had come from farms and small villages to establish themselves in Chicago... Why not bring them together? If others were longing for fellowship as I was, something would come of it. In February 1907, Harris was elected the third president of the Rotary Club of Chicago, a position he held until the fall of 1908. Toward the end of his club presidency, Harris worked to expand Rotary beyond Chicago. Some club members resisted, not wanting to take on the additional financial burden. But Harris persisted and by 1910 Rotary had expanded to several other major U.S. cities. Harris died on 27 January 1947 in Chicago at age 78 after a prolonged illness. His death prompted an outpouring of contributions from around the world and his name continues to evoke the passion and support of Rotarians and friends of Rotary. Courtesy : Rtn. Dilip Chandariya

CHARTER DAY CELEBRATION As you all aware we have our charter day on 25th July. The new vibration was clearly seen within the club environment as we celebrated our 70 th charter day in grand style at our Shri Shashi Bhagar and Sarojmaa Rotary Disaster Management Centre. It was really nice to see the hall was packed with our Rotary Family and atmosphere was really lively with members, anns, annets preform singing and dancing to rock the stage. Club Director Rtn. Vinesh carefully selected a superb menu for the function and yummy delicious cake for the occasion. After dinner all members with their family rushed to our hall as it was an entertainment night for rotary family and by rotary family members. During such events we usually hear our Sec. Rtn. Lalitbhai entertain in his unique way of handling MOC... but due to his other commitments he was out of town, but Ann. Shital Savla ensured void of Lalitbhai was not felt as she handled the program very lively and effortlessly. Kids of our Rotary Family Sang and Dance superbly that even our President could not stopped herself from performing a dance on the stage. She along with Rtn. Dr. Jasminben Rathi perform on various mix songs but star performance of the evening was a mix dance done by Rotary Royals (Lady Rotarians and Anns ). They perform so nicely that clapping and whistles from audience were continued through out the songs. Here are few glimpse of the same. 6
