Rotary Foundation
The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International is very important to our Club. It is through the Rotary Foundation that Rotary is able to accomplish its international projects. Since its charter, each member has been a Paul Harris Sustaining Member, giving a minimum of $100 per member per year. During the current Rotary year, our Club proudly became a 100% Paul Harris Fellow Club, as each active member in the Club had achieved a minimum total giving level of $1000. For a small young Club, its members have contributed over $125,000 to the Rotary Foundation, we have had over 80 Paul Harris Fellows and 15 multiple Paul Harris Fellows, 10 Paul Harris Society members, and 8 Benefactors.
