Springfield Township Rotary Club had a very special Guest this week, Gary S Fedorcha District 7430 Governor 2014-15. Gary met with the Rotary Board and then joined the Club for their regular meeting. He invited the club to strive to reach his goal for the Rotary year, to Light Up Rotary thru Education. Membership Retention and an Increase in Recruitment and well as contributing to the Foundation were highlights of his speech. When Rotarians give to the Foundation, funds come back to our District for matching grants to do good in our own communities. Also honored were Rotarians Bonnie G. Ostrofsky and Bill Piszek with their 4th Paul Harris Pins. When a Rotarian reached $1,000 in contributions to the Foundation or are gifted recognition points from the Club they are honored with a pin.

March 28, 2013 by Tim Ernst Leave a Comment

The Rotary Club of Springfield Township was proud to bestow upon their oldest Rotarian, George Struzyna, the honor of a three Ruby Level, Paul Harris Fellow. This is the highest level a Rotarian can achieve, having donated $10,0000 or more to the Rotary Foundation. Since the first donation of $26.50 in 1917, the Rotary Foundation has received contributions totaling more than $1 billion. To date, more than one million individuals have been recognized as Paul Harris Fellows– people who have given $1,000 to the Annual Programs Fund or have had that amount contributed in their name. Such strong support, along with Rotarian involvement worldwide, ensures a secure future for The Rotary Foundation as it continues its vital work for international understanding and world peace.
