- The Leonardtown Rotary was chartered in 1986.
- Rotary is an international organization with over
30,000 clubs worldwide. The first Rotary club was
founded by attorney Paul Harris in Chicago in 1905
with the goal of promoting ethical business practices.
The name Rotary comes from the original practice of
rotating the meeting place among members’ places
of business.
- Leonardtown Rotary’s signature local project is the
“Service with a Smile” a fluoride rinse program for
third graders in St. Mary’s County schools to promote
healthy teeth. Recently the club sent refurbished
computers to schoolchildren in India and helped
furnish a library in India. Currently the club is
participating with the Rural Water Association and
Rotary International in a clean drinking water project
in Honduras. This project will provide water to nine
villages and approximately 2000 people.
