The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation.

Rotary established the recognition in 1957 to encourage and show appreciation for substantial contributions to what was then the Foundation’s only program, Rotary Foundation Fellowships for Advanced Study, the precursor to Ambassadorial Scholarships.

Club members Dick Stevens, Milt Rosenberg and Enfield’s Rotary Club contributed $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation for each recipient honored at the dinner. The event was held at Grassmere Country Club.

Rotary members Dave Drinan and Dick Stevens were honored as the longest Rotarians in the Enfield Club at 52 and 51 years respectively.

Former President Mike Helechu emceed the night.
