One million Paul Harris Fellows

Frank Devlyn

May 2006

Dear Amigos,

We need 10,000 new Paul Harris Fellows for The Rotary Foundation to
reach the milestone of naming its one millionth Paul Harris Fellow.

By putting our hearts and minds together with our philanthropy, we
can reach one million Paul Harris Fellows - and reach our worldwide
Annual Programs Fund goal of US$105 million by 30 June 2006.

I urge you to Create Awareness and Take Action in your Rotary clubs
to make this happen. Clubs seeking to name new Paul Harris Fellows
should take action now. Contribute today to become a Paul Harris
Fellow. Contribute to name as a Paul Harris Fellow your spouse, your
children, your grandchildren, a special friend, a family member, or
a prominent member of your community.

Recognize all of the Paul Harris Fellows at your district
conferences and assemblies, as well as at the presidential
changeover ceremonies this year, and reflect on the good works of
our Rotary Foundation. Since the first Paul Harris Fellow was named
in 1957, each US$1,000 Paul Harris Fellow contribution has
significantly helped our Foundation accomplish the following:

37,000 Ambassadorial Scholars from 110 countries
52,000 Group Study Exchange team members from 102 countries
180 Rotary World Peace Fellows from 50 countries
276 Health, Hunger and Humanity (3-H) Grants in 74 countries
22,000 Matching Grant Projects in 166 countries
2 billion children immunized against polio
686 Individual Grants projects
406 grants for university teachers
772 District Simplified Grants in 57 countries

Achieving our one millionth Paul Harris Fellow is a significant way
to end this first year of Rotary's second century of service. Upon
reaching this milestone, one new living Paul Harris Fellow will be
selected from every zone to represent the one millionth Paul Harris
Fellow. In addition to receiving the Paul Harris Fellow medallion
set and certificate, the 34 representatives also will receive a
commemorative one millionth Paul Harris Fellow plaque and be
featured in Rotary publications and on our Web site.

Take time now to Create Awareness and Take Action , and help us
reach our one millionth Paul Harris Fellow by 30 June!

Thank you for your ongoing support of our Rotary Foundation.

Your friend and amigo in Mexico City,

Frank J. Devlyn

The Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair, 2005-06
Rotary International President, 2000-01
