Rotary Heritage and History International Fellowship 
 
Approved by Rotary International criteria, this Fellowship was organized in 1988 at the Philadelphia Convention by 57 Rotarians, the Paul Harris 711 Club, (a Foundation for the preservation of the place where Rotary was born in 1905), and the District 6450 Rotary Club of Blue Island Memorial Committee (a Foundation organized to maintain the grave site of Rotary Founder and First Club President Silvester Schiele; and construct a monument honoring Rotary and a walkway honoring RI Presidents.)
 

The objective of this fellowship is to advocate and promote the collection of Rotary club and Rotary International heritage and history; to encourage activity by others devoted to the preservation, growth and appreciation of the service club movement; to keep alive the mutual friendships created by Harris, Schiele, Shorey and Loehr, who first met in Room 711 of the Unity Building in Chicago; and, to exchange information and Rotary Club, District and Rotary International heritage and history, through the fellowship publication and our website.

Room 711 was saved.... See more at Norm Recalls, the true story of how Room 711 was saved and the man most responsible.
