May 2006

The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International expects the number of Paul Harris Fellows to reach one million by the end of June.

People who make a contribution - or have one made in their name - of US$1,000 to the Foundation's Annual Programs Fund can become Paul Harris Fellows. (Learn more what your gift can do.)

When the one-million milestone is reached, the Foundation will award a commemorative plaque to one new Paul Harris Fellow from each of RI's 34 zones. Each honoree will also receive the standard Paul Harris Fellow pin, medallion, and certificate. The 34 first-time Paul Harris Fellows must be living people.

Al Brush of the Rotary Club of Laurel, Miss., USA, became the first Paul Harris Fellow in 1957. Will you or someone you know be the one-millionth?
