History of Rotary in Greece

Leaving Istanbul, Jim Davidson flew to Athens on November 18, 1928 and within less than a month had found enough business and professional men to unite in organising a Rotary Club. This brought together men of sharply divided political opinions, both Royalists and Republicans, under the presidency of Spiro Loverdos, one of the leading bankers in Athens. The charter membership was entirely Greek, unlike many of Davidson's other clubs. The charter was presented and the club formally received into Rotary on January 30, 1929.
