Happy 120th Birthday, Rotary! ?????? Today, we celebrate 120 years of Rotary—120 years of service, fellowship, and making a difference in communities around the world! On February 23, 1905, Paul Harris and three friends met in Chicago, forming what would become Rotary International. From that first meeting, Rotary has grown into a global network of 1.4 million members dedicated to creating lasting change—across the world, in our communities, and in ourselves. As Rotary District 6990, we are proud to be part of this incredible legacy of service, impacting lives through projects in education, health, peace, and more. Join us in celebrating 120 years of Service Above Self! Share your favorite Rotary memories in the comments and let’s continue to make a difference together. #Rotary120 #ServiceAboveSelf #RotaryDistrict6990 #PeopleOfAction #RotaryAnniversary
