Rotary International 115th Anniversary
 

February 23, 1905 Paul Harris organized the first Rotary Club "in fellowship and friendship" with three clients and local businessmen, Silvester Schele, Gustavus Loehr, and Hiram Shorey. His initial goal was solely to create a club of professional and business men for friendship and fellowship. The rest is history as this small group grew to over 35,000 clubs with 1,2 million members world wide.

In honor of this momentous occasion, Lewisville Morning Rotary is hosting

the 115th Anniversary Showcase Celebration.

We will be celebrating Feb 27th at the Hedrick House.

Bring along family. Bring along a guest. Play some games and visit the showcase tables. Enjoy the raffles and win prizes. Meet Rotary and Toastmasters members from throughout the Lewisville area. Exchange ideas and support each other.

Admission is Free. Please register your intention to join us by clicking here.
