Rotary Wheel Emblem
A wheel has been the symbol of Rotary since our earliest days. The first
design was made by Chicago Rotarian Montague Bear, an engraver who
drew a simple wagon wheel, with a few lines to show dust and motion.
The wheel was said to illustrate “Civilization and Movement.”
Most of the early clubs had some form of wagon wheel on their publications and letterheads. Finally, in 1922, it was decided that all Rotary clubs
should adopt a single design as the exclusive emblem of Rotarians.
In 1923, the present gear wheel, with 24 cogs and six spokes was adopted by the Rotary International Association.
A group of engineers advised that the geared wheel was mechanically
unsound and would not work without a “keyway” in the center of the gear
to attach it to a power shaft. So, in 1923, the keyway was added and the
design which we now know was formally adopted as the official Rotary
International emblem.

Trinket presented the Rotary moment. She spoke of a service project

sandals for children. Many parent can’t afford new shoes when the
child outgrows the old ones. Shoes help prevent disease in countries
with unsanitary conditions.
Paramedic and liver transplant recipient Joe Fowler presented the
program. He works for an air-evacuation (ambulance) company. He
spoke of the importance of being an organ donor. Prior to his liver
transplant, he was clinically dead; they worked on him for about 45
minutes, even telling his family he was not going to survive. (See full
