eClubs, how they started and why they are important

In year 2000, a group of Rotarians in Boulder, Colorado conceived the vision of an all- electronic Rotary Club. After substantial effort and planning the first web-based club, eClub One, was chartered in District 5450 in January, 2002. Having proved the concept’s worthiness, the RI Council on Legislation voted to make e-clubs a permanent part of Rotary in 2010.
