About Rotary and the Portland Pearl Rotary Club

Rotary International was founded in February 1905 in Chicago, Illinois, by Paul Harris. Portland Pearl Rotary Club (PPRC), one of some 34,000 local Rotary Clubs established since then, was founded initially in 1975 as Portland Industrial Rotary Club to serve the industrial area of Northwest Portland. Over the years the character of Northwest Portland has changed greatly as has our club. To reflect these changes, in 2005 Portland Industrial Rotary changed its name to Portland Pearl Rotary and moved from Northwest Portland to the center of the Pearl District.
