At the recent meeting of the Lawrenceburg Rotary Club held on July 25, Rotarian Billy Story received special recognition for his unwavering commitment to The Rotary Foundation. Paul Wayne, the Club Foundation Chair, presented Story with the prestigious Fourth Level Paul Harris Fellow award, commonly referred to as PHF+3. This honor is bestowed upon individuals who either contribute $1,000 or more to The Rotary Foundation or have contributions made in their name. The Paul Harris Fellow recognition has multiple tiers, with each additional level representing continued contributions in increments of $1,000.
Billy Story’s attainment of the PHF+3 status is a testament to his profound dedication to the Rotary principle of “Service Above Self” and aligns with the organization’s mission to foster peace, combat disease, ensure access to clean water, enhance educational opportunities, and stimulate local economic growth. Paul Wayne remarked on Story’s contributions, stating, “Billy’s steadfast support of The Rotary Foundation exemplifies what it means to be a Rotarian. His generosity helps Rotary make a real difference both locally and around the world.” The Lawrenceburg Rotary Club takes pride in honoring members like Billy Story, who exemplify leadership through their philanthropic efforts and commitment to service.
