Paul Harris Fellows are people who have donated to the Rotary Foundation or for whom donations have been made of $1,000. Multiple Paul Harris Fellows are those individuals who have donated or for whom multiple $1,000 donations have been made. The Paul Harris Recognition was created by the Rotary Foundation in 1957. There are now more than one million Paul Harris Fellows worldwide.
Club Executive Secretary/Treasurer Don Roberts, MC for the recognition ceremony noted that North Jackson Rotarians donated an average of $200 each in the 2020-2021 Rotary year and that Club members have donated in excess of $600,000 to the Foundation in the club's 50-year history.
