Welcome to New
Castle Rotary Club #89
New Castle, PA
Chartered
1913 |
|
The year was 1905. Chicago
attorney Paul Harris was inspired to organize local business leaders
for the purpose of networking, fellowship, but above all, providing
humanitarian service. The benefits of these three goals were
soon appreciated by Harris' colleagues. Working together to
improve the quality of life for some ultimately improves life for
all. Good news travels. Soon the Rotary idea and ideals
were spreading to other communities. |

In 1913, New Castle was
a burgeoning community with heavy industry and manufacturing. Local
businessmen, Atty. George Muse and pharmacist Scott Paisley
initiated the effort that earned New Castle the distinction of being
the 89th club chartered. We are proud of our predecessors and
their altruism through the decades. Long ago, they set high
standards for New Castle Rotarians. We work hard to deserve
the honorable legacy we have inherited, and we celebrate "Service
above Self" with the same enthusiasm as our predecessors. |

Many of the
pictures used in our page headers are vintage photos of
the New Castle area, circa 1900-1950. The above
photo is of a large boiler which was manufactured in New
Castle about 1910 being moved by mule train to its
destination.
