Ben Plikerd Honored as Paul Harris Fellow
SYRACUSE, Indiana – November 29, 2007 – The Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary Club celebrated its 60th anniversary with a dinner at Quaker Haven Camp, November 1st 2007 and Ben Plikerd was honored with Paul Harris Fellowship. This recognition goes to those who live a life their fellow Rotarians believe exemplifies the quality of generosity by helping people in need at home and around the world and contributing to world peace and understanding.
Paul Harris Fellow recognition was created in memory of Paul Harris, the founder of Rotary as a way to show appreciation for contributions to the Foundation's charitable and educational program. A Paul Harris Fellow is an individual who contributes $1,000 or in whose name that amount is contributed. Every Paul Harris Fellow receives a pin, medallion and a certificate when he or she becomes a Fellow. It has been a practice of many clubs to award Paul Harris Fellowship to select members in appreciation of their service to the club.
Also honored at the dinner were Dan Van Lue and Tom Jackson.
