Carol Prendergast earns Paul Harris Award...Again!

Carol Prendergast, fresh from her European vacation, joined fellow RB Sunrise Rotarian Craig Brown as he presented her two stone Paul Harris award pin. The Paul Harris award is given any time someone contributes $1,000 to the Paul Harris Foundation, and this was Carol's third time. Awesome job, Carol! Your generosity is something we're all trying to emulate.

Lloyd Trilling Gets Third Paul Harris

Lloyd Trilling has earned his third Paul Harris award. Wow! This guy is really something! Not only is he generous and active in the RB Sunrise Rotary Club, but Lloyd is also one of the main guys putting together RYLA every year. This morning he announced that almost 300 high school juniors will be attending RYLA (The Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) in Idyllwild, CA this coming weekend. Great stuff! Craig Brown presents Lloyd with his third Paul Harris pin.

Paul Harris Number 3

Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Executive Secretary Jim Dunny received his two-stone Paul Harris award at this morning's meeting. 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.

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:

• Past President Mark Berdan
• Past President Kendra Jeffcoat
• Realtor Sue Herndon

At the ceremony, past club president Carl Kruse observed, “Today’s event is particularly exciting. In addition to being the largest group to ever receive Paul Harris Fellowships at one time for our club, we’re also very pleased to honor Kendra's reaching the Double Fellowship level and Sue's achievement of the Triple Fellowship level.

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.
