We have had the honor of recognizing several members as Paul Harris Fellows over the last several meetings for their contributions to the Rotary Foundation or recognition from a club member utilizing their Paul Harris points to acknowledge them. If you would like to learn more about the Rotary Foundation and how your support comes back to support our own local and international projects through District Grants reach out to our Foundation Chair, John Buckley.
