About us:

The first Rotary Club was organized in Chicago, Illinois by Paul Harris, a lawyer. It first met on February 23, 1905.

The name "Rotary" was chosen because the Club met in rotation at each member's place of business. From the beginning, the Rotary idea of friendship, fellowship, and service to others has spread to six continents.

Aloha-Sunset Rotary was chartered in July, 1979.
