Our Paul Harris Fellow Goal - 100 Paul Harris Fellow recognitions
On March 21, 2015 we will be holding our Centennial Dinner at the London Convention Centre. RI President Gary Huang will be joining us for this very special occasion. At this dinner we would like to have President Gary present100 Paul Harris Fellow recognitions. Please mark your calendar now!
How you can help
Ask members, spouses, friends of your Club to move to the next level of PHF recognition during the July 1 2014 – February 1 2015 time frame.
How can you do this?
Early in July send a separate memo to each member of your Club outlining where they currently stand in their Rotary Foundation contribution, what it will take to move to the next PHF level and that they can receive their next PHF recognition from the RI President in London on March 21, 2015. Encourage partners, spouses, and friends to participate in the program as well. This is the perfect way for your club to meet its Annual Programs Fund goal and PolioPlus goal.
Dinner details will be forwarded to all clubs in the near future and these details can be included in your memo.
Preparation for the Centennial Dinner presentation
· All your Club donations go through your Club and are credited to your Club
· Have all your Club’s recognitions from TRF go to your Club
· Store the those recognitions to be presented at the Centennial Dinner at your Club
· On or about 15 February 2015 advise Jim Belton of the Rotary Club of London (jimbelton@rogers.com) who is receiving the PHF recognition and what level.
· Please forward all PHF recognitions to be presented at the Dinner to Jim by 14 March 2015
· Club photos will be taken of all PHF recipients.
One of the greatest honors we could bestow on Incoming President Gary Huang for his visit to our District is 100 Paul Harris Fellowships. Will you help us to Light Up Rotary?
