Paul Harris Fellows
 
Jo Ann Vetter is named the latest Paul Harris Fellow.
 
The Paul Harris Fellow award is one of the highest honors bestowed by Rotary International. It recognizes individuals who contribute, or in whose name is contributed, a specified amount of money to The Rotary Foundation. Named after Rotary's founder, Paul Harris, the award acknowledges significant contributions to humanitarian and educational programs, which improve lives and create a better world. Recipients of the award are presented with a certificate, medallion, and a lapel pin. It honors both Rotarians and non-Rotarians who exemplify Rotary's motto of "Service Above Self."
