Our Beginnings:
The Rotary Club of Guelph-Trillium was officially chartered in October 1991.  The committee to form the club began its work in the early months of 1991 with the development of a list of potential club members.  Committee members from both the Rotary Club of Guelph and the Guelph-Wellington Rotary Club submitted names of those who they felt would be potential Rotarians.  A list of 30 potential members was drawn up and invitations were extended to the first provisional meeting which was held at George Michals Restaurant on Woodlawn Road. This meeting began at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday March 27th, with an attendance of 49 people, of which 20 were Rotarians from other Rotary clubs and the rest were potential Rotarians for our new club. 

Sixteen years later, the club has a membership of approximately 50 and annually hosts one of Guelph's favourite festivals, Ribfest.
