PAUL HARRIS SOCIETY
A Paul Harris Society for our District was launched in March 2010.
The Paul Harris Society is a special District recognition program designed for Rotarians who wish to support The Rotary Foundation in a more substantial way each year. The Paul Harris Society recognizes Rotarians and friends of The Rotary Foundation who annually contribute US$1,000 or more to the Annual Programs Fund, PolioPlus, or the Humanitarian Grants Program.
The first Paul Harris Society was established in 1998 in District 5340 (California) The idea gained momentum and quickly spread to other Districts throughout the world. Several Districts in Australia have established a Society.
