Waterfront Pioneer Rotary WalkPrint Page 
The Waterfront Pioneer Rotary Walk commemorates 100 years of community service by Rotary International.
The Walkway was built in two stages. Stage 1 in December 2006 and Stage 2 in March 2007. In Stage 1 the walkway had ninety-nine historical granite tiles installed creating a public art walk along the boardwalk. Each of the 99 tiles tells a story about different pioneers and people or depicts locations and events involved with Rockingham.
Artists Arif and Audrey Satar consulted with the students from Rockingham Senior High School, community groups and the Rockingham Historical Society in designing the walk.
Rotary International is an international service organization whose stated purpose is to bring together business and professional leaders in order to provide humanitarian services, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. It is a secular organization open to all persons regardless of race, color, creed, religion, gender, or political preference.
The first Rotary Club was formed when attorney Paul P. Harris called together a meeting of three business acquaintances in downtown Chicago, at Harris' friend Gustave E. Loehr's office in the Unity Building on Dearborn Street on February 23, 1905.
