The Paul Harris Society of D9800 has its next lunch scheduled for  4 April at the RACV club.    Bernie Walshe explained that this is an arm of Rotary in which members are characterised by their annual donation of US$1000 to the Foundation--in fact it was noted  that this society (world wide) contributes 35% of the funding of the Foundation.

HRC members are invited to contemplate joining it and welcome to attend  the lunch in April to learn more about it.

The Society is named after the founder of Rotary International: it recognises friends of The Rotary Foundation who annually contribute US$1000 or more to the Annual Programs Fund, PolioPlus and other approved Foundation grant activities. Society contributions count toward Rotary Foundation Sustaining Member, Paul Harris Fellow, Multiple Paul Harris Fellow, and Major Donor Recognition.

The Paul Harris Society is a district-administered recognition program. Each year the Society holds a special luncheon at which time new Society members are inducted and a keynote speaker is invited to address the gathering. - See more at: http://www.rotarydistrict9800.com.au/news/2346/paul-harris-society-luncheon#sthash.KqWYoexY.dpuf
