A First for District #6630

Posted by STEWART BUCHANAN

On Thursday, October 29, 2009, Jack and Vivian Harig became the first ever from District #6630 to receive the Arch Klumph Society Recognition. Arch Klump, the founder of the Rotary Foundation, was from The Rotary Club of Cleveland.

Arch C. Klumph Society Members are among The Rotary Foundation's top leaders and innovators. Members believe in the work of The Rotary Foundation and have made supporting peace, education, and humanitarian assistance part of their personal mission. They are key supporters of the Foundation, and their involvement is vital to its work.

What an honor for Jack and Vivian! They were presented with a plaque and their picture was placed on the wall of the Arch Klumph Gallery with 200 Arch Klumph Society Recipients from around the world.

At the presentation there were four past Rotary International Presidents, a number of Board Members, and John Kenny, the current Rotary International President. Also in attendance were Barb and Dan Fackler, Jack and Vivians Daughter and Son in Law, along with Stan Socha and Stew Buchanan from District #6630.
