Sertoma was founded on April 11, 1912 in Kansas City, Missouri.  The principal founders were Dr. George Smith, Dr. Charles Allen, and William Rowe.  It was known as the "Stand-Together Club" even before being organized under its official name as the Co-Operative Club.  In 1950, the official name was changed to Sertoma, coined from the phrase

Service To Mankind

reflecting the unity of its purpose and standing for teamwork in action.

The Sertoma Emblem is a Roman fasces (axe bundle) emblazoned on a shield, representing strength in unity and true fellowship.

The Liberty Sertoma Club was chartered in 1961 as a charitable corporation in the State of Missouri.
