During a recent gathering on June 13, the Lawrenceburg Rotary Club had the distinct pleasure of honoring Megan Johnstone as its latest Paul Harris Fellow. This recognition was particularly meaningful, as it was presented by her father, John Johnstone, who holds the position of President within the club. The ceremony was led by Bill Phillips, a dedicated Rotarian and former Chair of the Rotary Foundation, who has long championed the organization’s philanthropic efforts.
The Paul Harris Fellow designation is one of the most prestigious accolades bestowed by Rotary International. It is awarded to individuals who either contribute $1,000 or more to The Rotary Foundation or have contributions made in their name. This foundation plays a vital role in supporting a variety of global initiatives, including the fight against polio, efforts to provide clean water, initiatives aimed at fostering peace and resolving conflicts, as well as educational programs.
By honoring Megan with this title, President Johnstone not only celebrated his daughter’s commitment to the principles of Rotary but also highlighted the club’s dedication to the broader mission of Rotary International, which focuses on making a positive impact around the globe. The Lawrenceburg Rotary Club convenes weekly and is actively involved in both local and international service projects, embodying the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self.”
