Said fellow Rotarian Craig Brown of Rancho Financial as he presented the pin, "Jim achieved his Paul Harris one-stone pin through the course of his normal giving to the Rotary Foundation. However, when the Foundation offered a recent promotion offering to match your contribution dollar for dollar, Jim jumped at the opportunity and donated $500. The resulting $1,000 in his account gave him the pin with two stones." Well done, Jim. The results of your generosity will be felt around the world. Tuesday, March 29, 2011

4-way speech contest - sub-regionals
Six (count 'em, six!) high schoolers joined us for breakfast at the sub-regional 4-way speech contest. Listening to these kids is enough to restore faith and make you believe the next generation really DOES give a damn! Great stuff.

RB Sunrise Rotary adds Three Paul Harris Fellows
The Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary club has added another three Paul Harris Fellows to its ranks, and they're doing it BIG!
The Paul Harris Fellowship Award is one of the highest honors Rotary can bestow upon an individual. Recipients are typically Rotarians, professionals and community leaders who are recognized for their outstanding contributions to those around them.
The honor and recognition accompanies a donation of $1,000 or more in the name of the recipient to Rotary International’s Paul Harris Fund in support of Rotary’s world-wide programs.
At this past Tuesday morning’s breakfast meeting, the club honored:
Since its inception, the Paul Harris Foundation has been dedicated to doing good for those who may not be able to help themselves. The first grant in 1930 provided seed money for what became the Easter Seals Foundation.
“We can only hope our efforts here today also have that kind of positive result.” said Kruse.
The 65 business and community leaders in the RB Sunrise Rotary meet for breakfast every Tuesday at 7am at the RB Country Club on Greens East Road in RB. Professionals from throughout the region are invited to attend for some of the finest camaraderie to be found in north county, and prospective members are always welcome.

Donating to worthy causes
One of the things that I really love about belonging to Rotary in general, and the RB Sunrise Rotary club in particular, is the great causes that our money goes to help. Here our Community Chair Rod Weiss makes a $1,000 contribution to the Ed Brown Center. And this was JUST after he'd given another $500 to the Jewish Family Services.
Ya gotta love it!
