Paul Harris recognition
is given when an individual donates $1000 or receives 1000 recognition points
or any combination of each that equals 1000. Once a Rotarian has
received the Paul Harris recognition level, any monetary contributions above
that level gives the Rotarian a recognition point for each dollar contributed.
A Rotarian may give their points to another Rotarian or to
recognize a family member or spouse or
anyone that has
contributed to the community.
Sapphire pins are awarded
at every 1000 recognition level up to 10,000. Ten of our club
members have been awarded sapphire or multiple sapphire
pins. At the 10,000 recognition level a Rotarian is recognized as a
Major Donor to the Foundation.
Although, recognition
is nice, our donations help provide funding for Polio Eradication,
Humanitarian Programs (including health, hunger, and humanity grants),
Educational Programs (including Group Study Exchange, Ambassadorial
Scholarships, Rotary Grants for University Teachers, Rotary World Peace
Scholarships). The Programs of the Rotary Foundation help us
to make a difference in our world.
For more information
about making contributions to the Foundation or using recognition points,
please contact Foundation Chairman Stephen Morach.
