What is a Paul Harris Fellowship?

Currently, the Garner Rotary is offering free points for members wishing to start working towards their first Paul Harris Fellowship.

The Garner Rotary Club has earned “points” which can be used as dollars toward donations to the Foundation.  If you have not yet earned a Paul Harris Fellowship, Garner Rotary will match the first $200 you give to the Foundation, helping you earn your first Paul Harris Award.  For example:  If you donate $200 to the Foundation, Garner Rotary will use 200 “points” so that you will be credited with $400 towards your Paul Harris Fellowship.  (It takes $1000 to earn a Fellowship.)  We want everyone who wishes to become a Paul Harris fellow to be able to achieve this honor.
