About the club
The first Rotary club
in Malta
Chartered at a dinner on 6 October 1967 at the Sa Maison Hotel in Pietà, under the presidency of Anthony Miceli Farrugia. It has been at work ever since.
Who we are
A service club, run by its members
Rotary Club Malta is a service club whose members provide assistance to communities in Malta and overseas. It is run by an annually elected board and forms part of Rotary International District 2110 (Sicily and Malta), which counts over 3,700 members in 93 clubs — three of them in the Maltese islands.
What the club does is easier to see than to describe: a respite home supported over many years, a school built in Uganda, an ambulance for children, habitats protected. Members raise the funds, and often do the work themselves.
How it began
The charter dinner,
6 October 1967
The club was chartered at a dinner at the Sa Maison Hotel in Pietà, under the presidency of Anthony Miceli Farrugia.
The guests of honour were Sir Maurice Dorman, then Governor of Malta, Dr George Borg Olivier, the Prime Minister, and Archbishop Mgr Sir Michael Gonzi.
The Charter Certificate itself came later: Rotary International President Luther Hodges presented it to the founder president at a dinner at the Phoenicia Hotel, Floriana, on 5 December 1967.
