November was Rotary Foundation Month.  Bill Manby Sr., our club's International Foundation Committee Chairman, hosted a weekly program that helped us understand the many avenues from which to choose when donating time and money.  Each Akron Rotarian is encouraged to work toward becoming a Paul Harris Fellow. By becoming a Paul Harris Fellow your gift will advance world understanding, goodwill and peace through the improvement of health, support of education and the alleviation of poverty throughout the world.  Projects such as, job training for land mine victims in Cambodia, hand-washing stations and hygiene training for students in Ecuador, milking cows for farmers in Russia and microcredit loans to women in Togo depend on the ongoing support of dedicated Rotarians.

Mike Johns, Sr. from Distrcit 6630,  recognized new Paul Harris Fellows; Dick Wright, Rennick Andreoli, Graham Reineke and Harry Stewart.  Gene Fiocca also recognized and presented John Econmou's daughter with a special photo in remembrance of John for his dedication and commitment to the Akron Club and Rotary International.
