Rotary Club of York was formed in 1916 - just 11 years after Paul Harris formed the first Rotary Club in Chicago, Illinois. We are the the largest club in Pennsylvania and the 26th largest in the world. At just about 300 members strong, we are a blend of business and community leaders that work towards the common goal of improving the community we live and work in. The club meets every Wednesday. The meetings provide an opportunity to hear well-respected speakers present on a wide variety of topics. In addition, our meetings provide an environment for networking over a good meal. If this is the kind of group that appeals to you, contact us today! There are 1.2 million members worldwide who are dedicated to Service Above Self.
