"For those who want to feel connected, Rotary helps give us a sense of community. For those wishing they could expand their business contacts, Rotary offers unbeatable networking opportunities. For those who are lonely, it is a wellspring of friendship and support. For those on the fast track, it provides tools and opportunities to help you become a better leader. For those who love to travel, it's like pulling into a strange town almost anywhere on earth and finding the welcome light illuminated on the front porch." from Frank Talk

Recognition Points may not be used beyond the PHF+8 level. The next higher level of recognition is Major Donor status. It requires a minimum life-time contribution of $10,000 without the aid of Recognition Points.

What are Foundation Recognition Points?

Whenever someone who has achieved Paul Harris Fellow (PHF) status makes an additional contribution to the APF (Annual Programs Fund), he or she is credited not only with the donation but also with an equal number of Foundation Recognition Points which may be assigned to another person. These "points," (in dollars) may assist the other person in becoming a PHF or in reaching the next highest level of PHF recognition.

The Test Click here for Story of the 4 WayTest

   Of the things we think, say or do:
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and
         better FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all
          concerned?

To some their Rotary membership is almost the most precious thing in life.
Why this affection for Rotary? It is the love of man for his fellow man. When stripped of all formalities and creeds, fellowship flourishes. Rotary draws no lines of politics or religion, Mohamedans, Budhists, Christians and Jews, break bread together in happy fellowship.
