So I noticed MANY small towns in Brasil that were obviously heavily run by ROTARY. -What is this?
Many towns had huge obvious plaques or sculptures upon entering the town, some would have massive city squares with some blatant Rotary branding all over.
Most of the little towns in the countryside all had Rotary stuff clearly depicted as you enter.
One town I went to had it EVERYWHERE, plus tons of weird roman-looking columns and monuments that seemed way out of place (no photos sorry I didn't have the ipad with me that day)
In the town that had the most Rotary stuff, I also saw a HUGE TEMPLE-looking structure up on a hill with a sign that said 'LEO do JUDEA' (Lion of Judah), again with roman columns and a masonic-looking triangle in the front architecture. I was crazy curious but did not get the chance to get close and investigate...

What do you all know about Rotary? What is it? What are its roots? From where would it get its power to influence so many places in a country like Brazil??
I know little about it, now I want to know more...
