Paul Harris Fellow Recognitions
Oct 07, 2022
During today’s program we will recognize and congratulate those who have become Paul Harris Fellows or increased their contribution. The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation. Rotary established the recognition in 1957 to encourage and show appreciation for substantial contributions to what was then the Foundation’s only program, Rotary Foundation Fellowships for Advanced Study, the precursor to Ambassadorial Scholarships. Recognition as a Paul Harris Fellow can be for personal contributions, or may be given in honor of another individual at the request of the donor. Many notable figures have been named Paul Harris Fellows, including U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Russian President Boris Yeltsin, U.S. astronaut James Lovell, UN Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar, and polio vaccine developer Jonas Salk. The number of Paul Harris Fellows reached the 1 million mark in 2006. |

Celebrating 60 Years of Service
Oct 21, 2022
The Rotary Club of Georgetown has much to celebrate! Sixty years ago, the Rotary Club of Taylor sponsored a new Rotary Club in Georgetown, TX. What twenty-five local businessmen started has now grown into a large and active Rotary Club known for its service to the community, the region and the world.
In 1962, the Rotary International President Joseph A. Abey chose the theme "Aim for Action, Communicate for Understanding, Test for Leadership." The Rotary Club of Georgetown, TX, took these directives seriously and today its members are truly "friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change." It is fortuitous that the Rotary Club of Georgetown, TX, celebrates this milestone in the same year that Rotary International is being led by its first female president. RI President Jennifer Jones selected "Imagine Rotary" as her annual theme and invited Rotarians across the globe to imagine what might be possible when we work together to solve the world's most pressing problems. As we celebrate the outcomes of past service and imagine what more we can do together, join members of the Rotary Club of Georgetown, TX, Rotary District 5870 leaders, and other dignitaries to mark this special occasion. We will gather at 11am (earlier than our regular meeting time) for fellowship and lunch. This special meeting will be called to order at 11:30am and conclude at 1pm so we may have an extended program. If you are a member, you will have an opportunity during upcoming meetings to RSVP. Please add your name (and guest names if applicable) to the RSVP list at the member and guest information desk (where Myra sits). Those not associated directly with the Club may RSVP via email to Executive Secretary Myra Page. This is a not-to-be missed event for Club members! The Club's 60th Anniversary celebrations will continue in December as we host a holiday party with our local beneficiaries. Watch for more details in the coming months. Thank you to all who have been a part of 60 years of building goodwill and better friendships! |
