華文區域扶輪雜誌沿革
華文區域扶輪雜誌沿革 中華扶輪史研究員 劉敬恒 扶輪出版委員會 1999 年-2003 年 3450 地區代表委員 2022 年 12 月 1 日 《The ROTARIAN》 August 1960 扶輪雜誌《Rotary》是為協助國際扶輪(Rotary International)理事會，宣揚扶輪宗旨及推動國際 扶輪政策之重要刊物。藉此透過資訊的報導，促進全世界扶輪社員的親善與瞭解。因此國際扶輪規章 明確規定，每位扶輪社員都有義務訂閱公式扶輪雜誌《Rotary》(前身是《The Rotarian》月刊) 或國 際扶輪授權之區域扶輪雜誌(regional magazine)（註）。目前，如果不選擇英文公式扶輪雜誌，在語 言偏好方面需要閱讀中文的話，《臺灣扶輪》月刊是唯一可以選擇的華文扶輪雜誌。 扶輪雜誌的沿革，可回溯至 1910 年扶輪社成立美國全國性組織之後，當時的扶輪社全國總會(The National Association of Rotary Clubs)會長保羅．哈里斯(Paul P. Harris)即籌備發行一份刊物，做為 向全世界傳遞扶輪社員訊息的橋樑。1911 年 1 月終於發行了《The National Rotarian》創刊號，此即 為往後扶輪雜誌的元祖。(圖見第 6 頁) 隨著扶輪社在全世界各地紛紛成立，國際扶輪為服務各國不同文化、語言的扶輪社員，而開始授 權世界各國自行編印或者選擇訂閱「區域扶輪雜誌」。迄今全世界已有 24 種語文之 34 種版本的「區 域扶輪雜誌」。（發展圖表[2009 年]見第…
