The
Rotary International has been, for long, world
leaders in service. The Rotary Club of Millennium
City, Vashi chartered in the year 1994, is proud
to be part of this global fraternity comprising
over 1.2 million members worldwide, belonging
to over 33,000 clubs in more than 200 countries.
The journey of Rotary has always been about
humble beginnings to glorious achievements that
have left an impact on mankind. The Rotary was
founded by Paul Harris in 1905. A lawyer in
Chicago, Illinois, USA, Harris was raised in
a rural village in Vermont. He envisaged a new
kind of club for professionals that would rekindle
the kindness, caring and friendship he had known
in his youth. After meeting with three friends
– a coal dealer, a merchant tailor and
a mining engineer – they decided that
they should meet periodically to enjoy camaraderie
and to enlarge their circle of business and
professional acquaintances. Meetings were rotated
among their places of business and so the name
Rotary came about and with it, the commitment
to improve the lives of those less fortunate.
The rest, as they say, history. To know more

The Rotary Club of Millennium City has been
closely working with the community in several
development projects. From upliftment of women
rag-pickers to mobile health vans to community
education, we have gradually and consistently
been adding feathers in our cap.
This website is our mode of reaching out to
a larger audience with the intent to spread
the message of service and to look for synergies
that can manifest in a better world for all
of us. We look forward to your response and
support. Together, we can lead humanity to a
better future.
