The Rotary Club of Melbourne was the first Rotary Club in Australia. Since its inaugural luncheon on 21 April 1921, the club has had an outstanding record of philanthropic endeavour and charity work, as well as service to the cause of Rotary on the international scene. The Melbourne club is now faced with changing social and economic conditions which are causing the breakdown of community cohesion. The first Rotary Club was born out of a response to the competitive and harsh business environment of Chicago in 1905. The contemporary Melbourne club is responding to conditions by seeing them as an opportunity to expand the tradition of service.
