The presentation of Paul Harris Fellow recognition is The Rotary Foundation’s way of expressing its appreciation for a substantial contribution to its humanitarian and educational programs.
It is named for Rotary’s founder, a Chicago lawyer, who started our organization with three business associates in 1905. A world of peace and goodwill comes closer to reality as Chuck Ginsburg became a Paul Harris Fellow on August 4th, 2022. Chuck's gift of $1000.00 US to The Rotary Foundation’s educational and humanitarian programs is a commitment to peace and to a better life for people he and the membership of this Club will never meet. It is because of gifts such as this that The Rotary Foundation can carry out an array of programs that achieve beneficial changes in our world: Improved living conditions, increased food production, better education, wider availability of treatment and rehabilitation for the sick and disabled, new channels for the flow of international understanding, and brighter hopes for peace. In becoming a Paul Harris Fellow, Chuck continues membership with a remarkable company of persons throughout the world. They are recognized for their devotion to the ideal of goodwill, peace, and understanding…a goal of Rotarians the world over, and one that Chuck clearly shares. Chuck, we congratulate you, and we thank you for your commitment to the programs of The Rotary Foundation.
Paul Harris said: “Those who try to find the good in others will be rewarded, for others will surely find the good in them. Of all the earth’s sad and lonesome creatures, the most helpless is he who loves not his fellowmen.”
