Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute or have had contributions made in their name of $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation. It was established in 1957. Early Paul Harris Fellows received a certificate of recognition. In 1969, the Foundation unveiled the first Paul Harris medallion at the RI Convention in Honolulu, HAWAII. Japanese artist Fiju Tsuda created the piece under the direction of then past Foundation Trustee Kyozo Yuasa. Today Paul Harris Fellows receive a certificate and pin and are eligible to purchase a medallion.
The medallions are 1-1/2" diameter with antique brass finish and features the image of Rotary International founder Paul Harris on one side and the Rotary Masterbrand emblem on the other. The medallion is shipped in in a gift box and includes a royal and gold neck ribbon. If you are a Paul Harris Fellow and would like to purchase a medallion, contact Nate Burnham, nfburnham@gmail.com and he will order one for you. The cost is $15 each.
