When the Rotary Club of Baton Rouge came into existence in 1918, the two clubs (Lake Charles and Baton Rouge) were in Rotary District 20. The district governor was Samuel Mason of Shreveport, Louisiana.
The following year the young south Louisiana clubs were incorporated into District 14 until 1922, at which time they became part of District 17. In 1937 they were included in District 139.

Rotary International has been a significant force in the global effort to eradicate polio, contributing over $2.6 billion and countless volunteer hours since launching its PolioPlus program in 1985. Through these efforts, Rotary’s work has helped protect nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries from polio. Along with partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, Rotary has helped reduce polio cases by 99.9%. While polio remains endemic in only two countries (Afghanistan and Pakistan), continued efforts are crucial to prevent its resurgence.
