The Rotary Club of Lugano was founded exactly 90 years ago on 19 October 2019. This birthday was celebrated with a public conference on children's immunization, an aperitif, and a gala dinner. The supported projects are here.

November is the month of The Rotary Foundation, our great foundation that does so much good around the world. Charity Navigator has once again awarded The Rotary Foundation 4 stars, a record. 93% of the donations go to the beneficiaries of the projects around the world!

PDG Rot. Urs Klemm of the Rotary Club of Aarau was nominated Director of Rotary International.

The association Shelter Box helps where catastrophes have destroyed homes.

ROKJ Rotary for children and young people makes it possible to participate in sports and cultural courses and events. There are already a number of local ROKJ offices, but several areas of Switzerland are still without this organization.

Our Rotaractors organize the first KidsCamp in Switzerland in summer 2020 and ask the Rotary Clubs for sponsorships for the participating children.
