- Charter number
Rotary Stockholm International is a young, vibrant member of the Rotary International family. Started in May 2003, the club is located in Stockholm, Sweden’s capital city, and is the only Rotary club in Stockholm that conducts meetings entirely in English. The membership is international and is professionally & culturally diverse.
Rotary Stockholm International adheres to the vision, mission and principles of Rotary International. Being the only English-speaking club in Stockholm we also welcome non-Swedish speaking rotarians visiting Stockholm from abroad and other parts of Sweden to join our weekly meetings.
Origins
The idea to create a club to meet the needs of the international and English-speaking community in Stockholm was the brainchild of Carl Vernersson, Governor of Rotary District 2350 during 2000-2001. His idea was developed by Ronald Pavellas, a Rotarian of 12 years, who in 2002 relocated from San Jose, California to Stockholm. Then District Governor, Ingvar Mattsson, appointed Vernersson as the District’s special representative to oversee and support the formation of RCSI. Ron became the first president of the Club.
