When the Rotary Club was founded in Alassio 4o years ago , the first reunion took place in Hotel Mignon and the club counted 24 members with professor Giuseppe Rinonapoli as president .
Only 3 of the first members are still alive and today there are 44 active members in the club with Mr. Melgrati , who is Alassio´s mayor , as president .
The first Rotary Club was founded in 1905 in Chicago by attorney Paul P. Harris and three other businessmen. On February 23, 1905, Harris held the first meeting with three friends, Silvester Schiele, coal merchant, Gustave E. Loehr, mines engineer and Hiram E. Shorey, tailor. The members chose the name Rotary because they rotated club meetings to each member’s office each week.
According to its constitutions (”Charters”), Rotary defines itself as a non-partisan, non-sectarian organization. It is open to business and professional leaders of all ages and economic status. Its membership tends towards the middle-aged and wealthy.
