The Rotary Club of Aruba was founded on December 10, 1938, exactly 7 months after James Roth visited Aruba. During these 7 months he assisted a well known local businessman, Simon (Scampi) Oduber, in finding leaders in the community willing to start a Rotary Club in Aruba.
The club grew slowly but steadily with a top of 64 members in 1980 but is now stable at around 50 members.
The club forms part of Rotary District #4370, which comprises Venezuela (Eastern part), Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire. (
