PORTAGE

Globally, there are over 1.2 million members in 31,000 clubs in over 200 countries (2025 data)... The Rotary Club of Portage is a direct result of the efforts of Dr. Jack Wu and the Kalamazoo South Rotary Club in the 1960's. Because of the growth of the Kalamazoo South Rotary club, a committee was formed to study the feasibility of organizing a Rotary Club in Portage. This group's recommendation resulted in the Rotary Club of Portage becoming an official organization on February 23, 1967, which is coincidentally the anniversary of the first Rotary Club (Chicago) in 1905.
