Last week Rotary Foundation Committee Chair Howard Epstein recognized Dave Laferla and Randy Wieseler as Paul Harris Fellows +1 for their $2000 donations to the International Rotary Foundation. When asked why they support the Foundation, Dave said, " The example of Joe Laferla's dedication to the ideals of Rotary and his participation in the Paul Harris program throughout his life, provides a constant motivation to me to understand the purpose of and support the Rotary International Foundation." Randy said, "I donate to the Foundation to support the World Community Service Projects. This is one of the reasons that I am a Rotarian." Thank you and congratulations to them both!
