WHEELC
 
The early emblem of Rotary International was a simple wagon wheel representing “civilization and movement”. It was designed in 1905 by Montague M. Bear, Rotary Club of Chicago, who was an engraver.  Most of the early clubs adopted the wheel in one form or another.  Eventually, in 1922, authority was given to create and reserve an emblem for the exclusive use of all Rotarians.
 
Accordingly, in 1923, the present gear wheel with 24 cogs and six spokes was adopted, and a keyword added to signify that the wheel was a “worker” and not an idler.  An official description of the emblem was adopted at the 1929 convention in Dallas, Texas.  Royal blue and gold were chosen as the official Rotary colors, and the flag of Rotary was designated as a white field with the Rotary wheel emblazoned on its center.  The emblem worn as a lapel button now identifies Rotarians around the world.
 
In 2011 the name Rotary was added to the Rotary Emblem as they wanted the public to identify with Rotary projects.
 
 
 
 
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
First: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service.
Second: High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society.
Third: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life.
Fourth: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

The first Rotary Club in the world was organized in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. on 23 February 1905 by Paul P. Harris, a young lawyer who gathered together, in a spirit of friendship and understanding, a group of men, each of whom was engaged in a different form of service to the public.  That basis of membership - people from each business and profession in the community – still exists in Rotary.  At first, the members of the new club met in rotation at various places of business of the members and this suggested the name "Rotary".
 
Since 1905, the ideas of Paul Harris and his friends have become ideals, which have been accepted by men and women of practically all nationalities, and of many political and religious beliefs.  Today, the universal acceptance of Rotary principles has been so great that there are now some 33,000 Rotary Clubs which have a membership of over 1,200,000 organized in 537 districts in over 220 countries and territories worldwide.
 
The general objectives of Rotary Clubs in every country are the same: the development of fellowship and understanding among the business and professional people in the community, the promotion of community-betterment endeavors, high standards in business and professional practices, and the advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace.  Rotary Clubs everywhere have one basic ideal, the "ideal of service", which is thoughtfulness and helpfulness to others.
 
By Holland Smith*
 
In 1926, fourteen New Hampshire and twelve Vermont Clubs formed the nucleus of a new district, District 37.  The New Hampshire Clubs had previously been allied with clubs in Eastern Massachusetts and the Vermont Clubs had been a part of a large district which extended from Newport, VT and St. Albans, VT to New Haven, CT and Greenwich, CT.
 
The new District added clubs rapidly and within a year the original twenty-six clubs had grown to thirty-nine.  Though the area of the District remained unchanged until 1955, its designation became District 195 in1939 and District 286 in 1949.  By June of 1955, the District had a total of sixty-two clubs and administration of so many clubs had become difficult.  A division was made and the Southern part of the area continued as District 286 while the Northern part, along with part of the Province of Quebec in Canada, became District 287.  In July of 1957, the current numbers 787 (Southern part) and 785 (Northern part) were assigned.
 
As of July1, 1991, all Districts of Rotary International had a zero added onto the end of their District numbers.  So in 1991, our District 785 ended and District 7850 began.
 
District 7850 now includes forty-one (41) clubs with twenty-five clubs in Vermont, ten in New Hampshire, four in Quebec, one that spans the USA-Canada border, and one that spans the Vermont-New Hampshire border.

CLUB SERVICE
CLUB-EN
This, Rotary's First Avenue of Service, involves actions a Rotarian must take within the club to help it function successfully.
 
 
 
VOCATIONAL SERVICE
VOCA-EN
Rotary's Second Avenue of Service. Its purpose includes promoting high ethical standards in businesses and professions, recognizing the worthiness of all useful occupations, and fostering the ideal of service in the pursuit of all vocations.  The role of the club includes developing projects that help members contribute their talents to meeting society's needs.  The role of Rotarians includes conducting themselves and their businesses in accordance with Rotary principles and                                             responding to projects their clubs develop.
    
 
COMM-ENRotary's Third Avenue of Service is comprised of varied efforts that Rotarians make, sometimes in conjunction with others (e.g. a Rotaract or Interact club or a Rotary Village Corps), to improve the quality of life for those who live within their club's territory or community.
 
 
INTL-ENRotary's Fourth Avenue of Service comprises all the things that a Rotarian can do to advance "international understanding, goodwill, and peace" by getting acquainted with people of other countries, their cultures, customs, accomplishments, aspirations, problems – through personal contacts, travel, and attendance at conventions, through reading and correspondence, and through cooperation in all club activities and projects – including those of The Rotary Foundation – that will help people in other lands.
 
YOUTH SERVICE
riyouthservice
The Council on Legislation added Youth Service as Avenue of Service on 28 
April 2010.
 
 
The Avenue of Youth Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults involved in leadership development activities, community and international service projects, and exchange programs that enrich and foster world peace and cultural understanding
 
 
THE ROTARY FOUNDATION
 
The mission of The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International is the achievement of world understanding and peace through international humanitarian, educational, and cultural exchange programs.  The lifeblood of The Rotary Foundation has always been the enthusiastic volunteer support of Rotarians giving generously of their time and financial resources.  It is this support that has made possible the Foundation's varied educational and humanitarian programs.  These programs give Rotarians a sense of great satisfaction and fulfillment and reinforce the powerful network that links Rotarians in International Service.
 
The growth of The Rotary Foundation's educational and humanitarian programs is a reflection of increasing awareness of human needs worldwide.  The Foundation helps to provide resources and volunteers to relieve those needs.
