On December 16th 1937 the commissioner of police reported to the Mayor that the Club did not announce their meetings therefore they were thought to have ceased. The liquidation process started and on November 19th 1938 the President of the Club, Aurél Kiss notary, officially announced that the members had quitted, a general assembly could not be summoned, so the dissolution could not be stated. This fact was then reported to Dr Zoltán Koós, the Governor of Hungarian Rotary Clubs. Finally on May 31th 1939 the Mayor announced the termination of the Club. The liquidation of the assets ended on September 26th 1939.

Since its re-chartering Rotary Club Győr has organised charity events not only in Győr but in its neighborhood as well. Additionally the Club pays attention to the development of acquaintances over the state borders and serving the Hungarian minority in the Carpathian Basin. Our Club has sent donations to Transylvania, Csángó regions, Subcarpathia and Felvidék.

The aim of the Club has always been to maintain a living relationship with its surroundings. The guests invited by us include several members of the parliament and local governments, leaders of factories, mayors, leaders of civil organisations.

RC Győr similarly to all Hungarian Rotary Clubs belonged to the 1910 district with its centre in Vienna. However on the international charter ceremony of June 29th and 30th 2007 in Budapest the independent Hungarian district was formed which was given the number of 1911 within the International Rotary. Imre Kovács was elected the first governor of the Hungarian district.

The Hungarian Rotary joined the Rotarian family with its 40 clubs and 1100 members.
