Five Named Paul Harris Fellows

Five members of St. George Rotary Club received the Paul Harris award during a ceremony at the Holiday Inn on Monday, September 14. This recognition brings the total number of current active and honorary Paul Harris Fellows to 44! Grant Carter and Phil Hall received their first Paul Harris award. 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!
