ABOUT ROTARY

Rotary began when four gentlemen: Silvester Schiele, a coal dealer; Paul Harris, a lawyer; Hiram Shorey, a tailor and Gus Loehr, a mining engineer, met for the first time on February 23, 1905. It was there that Paul Harris conveyed his idea of a new kind of club.The history of our Rotary District began in 1916 with the chartering of the Rotary Club of Greensburg.

Learn more about Rotary in the video "About Us"!

The fifth president of Rotary International, Frank L. Mulholland, was instrumental in planting the seed when Frank B. Miller of Greensburg was invited by Mr. Mulholland to attend a meeting of the Rotary Club of Toledo while on a business trip to that city. Upon his return home Mr. Miller began organizing Rotary Club #250 in Greensburg .

The concept of community service, and later international service, began to create interest in other communities in the area. Four clubs of our current district makeup were chartered by 1920, and fourteen more during the next ten years, keeping in mind that the ability to travel and communicate was not like we are accustomed to. But that is what brings Rotarians together, the ideal of service to others, regardless of obstacles that occur.

As Rotary grew, and as we know it today, Rotarian's world wide have come together to share a common goal, by providing health, hunger and educational opportunities to those less fortunate.

Rotarians are business and professional people, having leadership qualities and skills that provides the correct formula for "Service Above Self.".

Rotarians from our District (in all of it's growth change) have serve our neighbors both locally and internationally for almost 100 years.

We now have forty-three clubs and about 1500 Rotarians working to promote international understanding, goodwill, and peace through the world.

What Does It Mean To Be A Rotarian?

Do you truly appreciate the significance of being a part of this glorious past and present? As Rotarians, you are special people and millions around the world would be happy to confirm that fact.
PDG Bob Hillberry likes to remind us that we had an opportunity to say "no" when we were asked to become a Rotarian. When we are asked to undertake a Rotary task, our inclination ought to be to say "yes." A Rotarian ought not to wait to be asked. She or he should exercise initiative, looking for opportunities to serve the club, the community and the world.
Rotarians should try to participate in all four Avenues of Service even if he or she concentrates on one or two of them.
A Rotarian should embrace the 4-Way Test, the Object of Rotary, high ethical standards and the various credos and mottos of the organization.
We should realize that other Rotarians need and deserve our support in adversity and in Rotary work. We are a family "united in peace and dedicated to service."

Website Information

Welcome. The website for Rotary District 7330 has been changed to make communication throughout the district easier and more efficient.

One of the most important changes is that Rotarians all over the district can have the ability to add information to the site themselves. Committee chairs, event organizers or anyone else who has a reason to get information disseminated in the district can do it themselves...easily.

Annual Fund Participation

How many members of your Rotary club are contributing to The Rotary Foundation's Annual Programs Fund?

Consider The District Project which is the Sandfilter/Microcredit Program. Click here for the form used to donate to the APF through our District.

According to professional fundraiser Bill Eck, of the Rotary Club of Denver Southeast, Colorado, USA, Rotarians will give, even in tough economic times, if they recognize Rotary's value to them. A former District 5450 Rotary Foundation Chair and Annual Giving Chair, Eck recommends asking the following questions of Rotarians individually or, preferably, in an interactive group setting. Their responses, he says, will help them realize Rotary's full value, leading them to want to make a gift.

What is Rotary All About?

Every year, the President of RI, the Governor of District 7330 and club Presidents plan projects, establish goals and exhort Rotarians to participate in the former and achieve the latter. Individuals and clubs are presented various awards for superior and excellent performance.

What does it mean when a Rotarian or a club receives an award? For example, what does it mean when a club is designated the District's Club of the Year?

It does not mean that the club had the best fundraisers, the most service projects, the best bulletin or gave away the most money. It means the club helped people have a better life. It means the club was an exemplar of the ideals and goals of Rotary.
