In 1905, the efforts of a young lawyer to create a small and friendly world inside a huge and indifferent city, led to his discovery that there are many others in need of friendship. Paul Harris, a Chicago lawyer, and three friends banded together and called themselves the Rotary Club of Chicago. The name came from their practice of rotating meetings in the members' places of business and their object was to "encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise."
Rotary is the largest service club in the world and one of the largest non-governmental organizations in existence. It is important that the public know that there are no administrative costs attached to funds raised by local Rotary clubs. Every dollar raised goes directly to the source charity.
Most Rotarians contribute to the Rotary International Foundation. An impressive 91% of funds received are spent on programs and the foundation has received the highest level 4-star rating from Charity Navigator.
In 1911, the first Canadian Rotary Club and also the first international club was founded in Winnipeg. The Leaside club know as the Toronto-Leaside Rotary Club was chartered in April, 1940. Today, Rotary is a global network of over 35,000 clubs with 1.2 million members who are neighbours, friends, leaders and problem-solvers who come together to make positive, lasting change in communities at home and abroad.
To support and comply with the principles of Rotary International and accomplish the Object of Rotary.
We want to be recognized as being the premier community service club in the Leaside area; be known as the "go to" club to make things happen. We will demonstrate leadership in the community by supporting and encouraging community projects. We are involved in local, regional and global initiatives to help others.
