History
of Paul Harris
fellows:
Memorial gifts pay tribute to friends and
fellow Rotarians while supporting the programs of The rotary Foundation. In
January 1917, the Foundation launched Paul Harris Fellow Recognition in memory
of the founder of Rotary International. A total of twelve individuals were
recognized the first year. Today, the number of Paul Harris Fellows has
surpassed the 600,000 mark.
Paul Harris Fellow Recognition is given
to those individuals who contribute $1,000. All annual Programs Fund
contributions and certain restricted gifts, (i.e. Matching Grants, Polio Plus)
are eligible for Paul Harris Fellow Recognition credit.
A new Paul Harris Fellow will receive,
upon request, a personalized certificate with presentation folder, a lapel pin,
and a medallion with neck ribbon. The distinction is reserved for individuals,
either living or dad, and many not be conferred, as has been attempted, upon
beloved pets, fictitious characters or inanimate objects.
Your annual
support is vital to the work of Rotary and helps Rotarians and their Foundation.
The
Lamar Rotary Club is proud of the number of Paul Harris Fellows included in the
current membership. The following is a list of current and past Paul
