Back in 2002, a distinct need for a Service Club was being acutely felt in the region of Phoenix, as revealed by a careful and in-depth study. Hence the idea of launching a new service club, The Rotary Club of Phoenix.

The very first meeting was held with a group of potential members on 11^th December 2002 at the IVTB House in Phoenix. This introductory meeting was enough to turn these 28 potential members into enthusiastic confirmed members in the Ideal of Rotary. What appealed to them was the fact that Rotary is ‘SERVE, INNOVATE, GIVE, EXCHANGE’. Belonging to a Rotary Club gives men and women an organized outlet for contributing to the community.
