Paul Harris, our Founder, a Chicago attorney formed the Rotary Club of Chicago on 23 February 1905, so professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas, form meaningful, lifelong friendships, and give back to their communities. 
 
This is so true, the Rotary Club of Richmond was chartered in April 12, 1962, throughout the years, members and spouses have become close friends. They help out each other, travel together and enjoy doing activities together.
