Paul Harris Fellowships
One of the ways Oshkosh Southwest Rotarians participate in the Rotary Foundation is through the Paul Harris Fellowship program. 32 Club members are Paul Harris Fellows, designating that they have donated or had funds donated in their name of $1,000. Many additional Club members contribute to the Rotary Foundation through the Sustaining Member program, in which they contribute a regular sum of money to the Foundation each month year in order to receive a Paul Harris Fellowship when their contributions have reached $1,000.
