KDHL's Gordy Kosfeld Named A Paul Harris Fellow At Rotary Meeting

This afternoon Gordy Kosfeld, KDHL's News and Sports Director, was invited to the Faribault Rotary's noon meeting. At the meeting, Gordy was the recipient of the Faribault Rotary's Paul Harris Fellow Award, which is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon someone in or outside the Rotarian organization.

The highest award in Rotary is the Paul Harris Award. It is given to a Rotarian or a member of the community that has made an outstanding contribution to the community.

At the International Assembly in 1979, incoming RI President James Bomar challenged each Rotary club to make one non-Rotarian a Paul Harris Fellow. Many other notable figures have been named Paul Harris Fellows, including U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Russian President Boris Yeltsin, U.S. astronaut James Lovell, UN Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar, and polio vaccine developer Jonas Salk. The number of Paul Harris Fellows reached the 1 million mark in 2006. - Rotary Website
