100%

EVERY MEMBER OF

THE ROTARY CLUB OF SCOTTSDALE

AS OF JUNE 1, 2006, IS A PAUL HARRIS FELLOW.

How to Achieve and Maintain 100% PHF for Our Club

In our club we require that new members give one hundred dollars towards beginning their Paul Harris Fellow. Add a hundred a month for one year or fifty dollars a month to achieve in the award in two years.  A Paul Harris Fellow becomes a major donor by adding $9000.00 to Rotary International. The nine thousand gives the member nine thousand points from which he can help others become Paul Harris Fellow. This can be achieved in two ways, first an outright award to civic, church, synagogue, and charity members of our club this would gift nine members of the club or by matching the 9000 points with nine thousand dollars of new money to rotary which adds eighteen new Paul Harris Fellows to the club.  Donors with more than one thousand dollars given to Rotary International have points reserved in their name from their current club or at any previous club. Example: $1,200 to Rotary International member has one Paul Harris Fellow and 200 points on his/her account.  Since Rotary guidelines prohibit the member from using the points to acquire an additional PHF from themselves.  The guidelines in the spirit of Rotary, allow the member to donate their points to help another member obtain a PHF.

In our Scottsdale club we exchanged almost 50,000 thousand points among members and raised an additional $25,000 for Rotary and added 75 PHF to our club with 165 members we are now a 100% Paul Harris Fellow club.

Where do you go from here? All members who were helped were asked to help others by continuing to give to Rotary International and using their points to help keep our club at 100% Paul Harris Fellow.
