"We must find a handful of Rotarians who will dedicate their lives to history, so that thousands more might dedicate their lives to Rotary."
— RGHF annual meeting, Montreal, Canada 2010
Rotary Global History
RGHF Mission: As an effort to serve others, RGHF offers history training for Rotary leaders. The fellowship accumulates and preserves the complete history, values, and philosophy of the Rotary movement, as well as encourages others to do the same at every level of the Rotary movement, and publishes those histories, values, and philosophies on the internet, as well as other forms of media as expedient.
The fellowship is an approved Rotary fellowship by the Board of Directors of Rotary International. To date, over 4,000 pages and in excess of 25,000 items of the Global History of Rotary have been compiled.
"I believe that knowledge of history is vital in developing the type of tolerance advocated by our founder, Paul Harris, and it is through such tolerance that Rotary effectively promotes international understanding, goodwill, and peace."
President 10/11 Ray Klinginsmith, USA (in a July 2010 letter to RGHF.
President Ray is a member of RGHF)
