About Us |
| Paul Harris Fellow Awards | The Paul Harris Fellow recognition shows appreciation for contributions to the Foundation’s charitable and educational programs. A PHF is an individual who contributes $1,000 or in whose name that amount is contributed. Every fellow receives a pin, medallion and a certificate and is identified as an advocate of the Foundation’s goals: world peace and international understanding.
A Paul Harris Sustaining Member is an individual who contributes or in whose name a minimum of $100 is contributed with the commitment to a total of $1,000 within a ten-year period. Currently our Club will contribute $300 for any member willing to donate the remaining $700 to become a Paul Harris Fellow.
