Our club was chartered on April 7th, 1928. We now have 34 members who meet every Monday 9pm at Stradivarius - Buenos Aires 219 in our city, Paraná.

We sponsor two youth clubs, the Rotaract Club of Paraná and the Interact Club of Paraná.

Every meeting our club enjoys a speech by a distinguish host who comments on a topic of general interest. Once a month the speech is about some Rotary topic.

Some of our programmes.

Among the programs our club develops, there are vocational orientation workshops for high school students, conferences for the youth, student theatre contests and inter-school chess team contests, We also present awards to around 140 students each year, who are nominated as "best citizen" by their peers.

Every year we organize two traditional parties: "Sweets and bubbles" and "Foam and serpentine" to raise funds that this year are going to be used to build the kindergarden room in our sponsored school, "Nuestra Señora de Lourdes".

Also, each year our club nominates scholarship candidates for Group Study Exchange (GSE), and actively participates in the reception of exchange students coming from other countries.
