Along with a transition of the Morton Rotary club president, the entire membership of the Morton Rotary Club was made Paul Harris Fellows Thursday afternoon at the Ashland House in Morton.

After Rotary past president introduced Don Jones as the new president, new members within the Morton Rotary Club were awarded Paul Harris medallions.

What is a Paul Harris Fellow?

Paul Harris Fellow recognition was created in memory of Paul Harris, the founder of Rotary, as a way to show appreciation for contributions to the Rotary foundation's charitable and educational program.  A Rotarian who contributes – or in whose name is contributed – a gift of $1,000 or more to Rotary International's Annual Programs Fund may become a Paul Harris Fellow. Each new Paul Harris Fellow receives a commemorative certificate, a Paul Harris Fellow pin and a medallion. Donors are eligible for Paul Harris Fellow recognition when their cumulative giving reaches $1,000.
