As the 2019-2020 Rotary year comes to a close we wish to celebrate those Rotarians and Friends who have been honored by The Rotary Foundation as Paul Harris Fellows of the Rotary Club of Canton, Ohio. The Paul Harris Fellow recognition is named after Paul P. Harris who founded Rotary in 1905. The Paul Harris Fellow recognition program was established in 1957 to recognize those individuals who contribute outright or in whose name has been contributed a gift of US$1,000 to The Rotary Foundation.Established in 1917, The Rotary Foundation pioneered a new model of service leadership founded in person-to-person connections thru Rotary Clubs that span the globe—bridging cultural, linguistic, generational, and geographic barriers—and that shares the vision of a better world. In 2018-2019 the Foundation raised over $395 million. Our Global Focus is: Peacebuilding and conflict prevention; Disease prevention and treatment; Water, sanitation, and hygiene; Maternal and child health; Basic education and literacy; Community economic development.
We are pleased to congratulate the following new Paul Harris Fellows:
THE ROTARY FOUNDATION RECOGNIZES MULTIPLE PAUL HARRIS FELLOWS
Congratulations! These members have been named Multiple Paul Harris Fellows by The Rotary Foundation. Current Paul Harris Fellows who continue contributions to The Rotary Foundation are recognized with a new pin with an additional stone to recognize each additional $1,000 contributed. Thus a Paul Harris Fellow who had made continuing gifts over his life time may have a PHF Pin with multiple stones. ( i.e. A PHF+3 pin with 3 blue stones symbolizes total giving of $4,000) In addition, at each $1,000 level you may name a friend or family member as a Paul Harris Fellow.
