Biography/History
The Louisville Rotary Club was organized in February 1912 by T.L. McGill, C.H. Hamilton, and Frank G. Jones. Rotary Clubs date to 1905, when Chicagoan Paul Harris started a group of business and professional men to meet for the purposes of friendship and service. "Sparks," the newsletter for the Louisville club began in September 1913.
