Rotary Haripad

Club History

Inspired of the Rotary International movement, some illustrious personalities in and around Haripad join together and decided to bring a unit of Rotary in Haripad.  Accordingly Rtn. PHF M.Ramaswamy Iyer the district Governor, Rotary District 3210 appointed Rtn. PP. Sunny John ( President 84-85, Rotary Club Alappuzha) as his Governor’s Group Representative (GSR) to form a Rotary club at Haripad.  Rtn.  Sunny John came to Haripad and contacted some philanthropists and initiated the formation of Rotary Club at Haripad. On 16^th June 1989 Haripad club obtained the Charter No:26529.  The Charter was presented by Rtn. PHF PDG M. Ramaswamy Iyer. In the year 2007-08 this district 3210 was bifurcated into 3211 and 3212  and now the club is under Rotary District 3211.
