Rotarian  Gilda Treleaven-Graham receives her Paul Harris +5 recognition from President Kaylea Lax.
 
 
 
Congratulations to Gilda Treleaven-Graham who  recently received her Paul Harris +5 recognition.  She is one of thirty three Paul Harris Fellows in our Regina Club.
 
Paul Harris is the founder of Rotary. The Chicago attorney formed the first Rotary Club of Chicago on February 23, 1905, so professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas, form meaningful relationships, lifelong friendships, and give back to their communities.
 
 The Paul Harris Fellow program recognizes individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name of $1,000 US dollars to The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. The honour was established in 1957 to show appreciation for contributions that support the Annual Fund, Polio Plus, or an approved Foundation grant.
 
Gilda’s +5 recognition means that she is a multi Paul Harris Fellow and has given subsequent $1,000 US dollars five more times.  In recognition, she received a certificate and a Paul Harris pin with five sapphires (shown).
 
The recognition pins are set with additional stones corresponding to the recipient’s recognition amount.
