I welcome you to our website of RGHF (Rotary Global History Fellowship). This much-used site contains the most comprehensive collection of Rotary's history over the past 100+ years with over 4,000+ pages and 15,000 articles on the history of Rotary International. Hopefully, anything you ever wanted to know about the movement is here within this website. Explore and enjoy!

 

You can read about Rotary's Paul Harris and find wonder in his messages, essays and books. You can also learn about Rotary's famous 4-Way Test or take our Rotary Global History tour. In addition, we offer four monthly features: "Why I Am A Rotarian," "What Paul Harris Said" "Our Foundation Newsletter," and  "Rotary Global History Fellowship Day." You will learn a great deal from our global, Rotary-hoped-for future, such as: essays on the journey toward Peace. Our highest compliment is for you to say, "Wow! after a visit!

 

Mark your calendar to join us in Montreal as RGHF will celebrate 10 years of service to Rotarians with a goal of $10,000 in grants to other history organizations in Rotary. Also see www.rghf.org/grants

 

 

Anything you can't find - visit our history search page. Want to talk about a subject, visit our www.rghfforum.org or us our RGHF comment form. Want to contribute, visit and then join us! We want new members-new ideas-new explorations into the essential elements of Rotary. We extend an invitation to all Rotarians to come and join this dynamic project, Rotary Global History Fellowship.

 

I am honored with the distinct privilege to be elected Chairman of our Fellowship for 2007-2010, but an organization does not survive and thrive by a single voice or hand.  All Rotarians are indebted to our dedicated committee of historians and researchers, those who find philosophies, goodwill stories, service projects, speeches, acts of fellowship plus a pursuit of peace, and, of course, all those who continuously gather and assemble the "best of the best" of Rotary's principles, ideas, ideals and visions of service for the world.

 

Our band of Rotarians of RGHF serve by an adopted concept: "Slowly, we seek to serve others, believing that history will encourage membership retention."

 

We also invite you to join us for our 10th anniversary: Chicago 10-12 October 2009 www.RGHF101010.org
