► He and three friends, Silvester Schiele, a coal dealer, Hiram Shorey, a merchant tailor, and Gustavus Loehr, a mining engineer, met in rotation at each other’s offices - thus the name Rotary.

► The first service project occurred in 1907, construction of Public Toilets in Chicago addressing a real community need.
