Part of our section on Argentina

 

Rotary first came to Argentina with great favour from the Rotary Club of Montevideo, Uruguay.

As a result of these meetings, the Rotary Club of Buenos Aires was created on 8 November 1919 which thence became the first Rotary Club in Argentina. (Rotary International lists the Charter date as 1 April, 1920. Webmaster).

 

Within a short period, Heriberto P. Coates began the rapid expansion of Rotary in our country.

 

On 8 September 1922, sponsored by the Buenos Aires, the second Rotary Club in Argentina, the Rotary Club of Rosario was created.
