Jim Prusak came to the podium to recognize two of our members who made contributions to the Rotary Foundation. 

 

He explained that the Paul Harris Society recognizes contributors with pins suitable to their level of contribution. First, he presented a pin to our newest Paul Harris Society member, Ted Schick, who achieved the 1,000 point level. Next, a sapphire pin was awarded to Steve Micke, who reached the 5,000 point level. Everyone gave a big round of applause for their outstanding contributions!
