The Paul Harris Society is named after Paul P.Harris, founder of Rotary International.
Paul Harris formed the world’s first service club, the Rotary Club of Chicago, on 23 February 1905.
His intention was to recapture in a professional club the same friendly spirit he had felt in the small towns of his youth.
Today, Paul Harris Society contributions to The Rotary Foundation support a wide range of humanitarian grants and educational programs that enable Rotarians to bring hope and promote international understanding throughout the world.
Participation in the Paul Harris Society is an especially meaningful and significant commitment. |
