Spotlight on The Rotary Foundation
This is Rotary Foundation Month! Our District 5890 hosted a dinner last Saturday to honor all major contributors in our district who support the Rotary Foundation. It begins as simply as $25 each quarter for a total of $100 to the Annual Fund during the Rotary year and this member is termed "Paul Harris Sustaining." When the donation adds up to $1,000 the member is recognized as a "Paul Harris Fellow". The donation may be made to the Annual Fund, PolioPlus, or an approved Foundation grant. To recognize someone else as a Paul Harris Fellow, you can give that amount in their name. You are recognized as a Multiple Paul Harris Fellow with each additional gift of $1,000. Recognition as a Paul Harris Society member is when you give $1,000 or more annually to the Annual Fund, PolioPlus, or an approved Foundation grant.
