Ken Seefeld and June McAfee were honored with a second . . . and Ruby Robinson was designated through a gift to RI from her husband, Ray.
A Paul Harris Fellow - named for Rotary’s founder - is awarded to anyone who contributes - or in whose name is contributed - a gift of $1,000 or more to the Annual Programs Fund. In today’s ceremony, each new Paul Harris Fellow received a commemorative certificate, a Paul Harris Fellow pin, and a medallion.Funds donated to the Annual Programs Fund enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. Congratulations to all for achieving this Rotary milestone!
