PAUL ROGERS RECOGNIZED AS WEST BAY ROTARY PAUL HARRIS FELLOW
At this week's West Bay Rotary club meeting, member Paul Rogers was recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow, one of the club’s highest honors.
The Paul Harris Fellow is named for the founder of Rotary. He and three business associates had the first meeting in Chicago in 1905. Thirty years later, this Club was pleased to welcome Paul and his wife, Jean.
The Paul Harris Fellows was established in his honor in 1957 to express appreciation for the contribution to the humanitarian and educational programs of The Rotary Foundation.
These programs include an array of projects that save and invigorate the lives of people around the world and enhance international friendship and understanding.
Foundation programs provide educational opportunities, food, potable water, health care, immunizations and shelter for millions of persons. These activities are funded, implemented and managed by Rotarians and Rotary Clubs around the globe.
Rotarians designate a Paul Harris Fellow to recognize a person whose life demonstrates a shared purpose with the objectives and mission of The Rotary Foundation to build world understanding and peace.
