The Rotary Club of Fort Wayne presented Paul Harris Community Service Awards to non-Rotarians in Allen County. Harris was one of the first four founders of the original Rotary in 1905 and founded the Rotary Foundation, “one of the highest rated foundations in the world doing good work in a number of ways.”

The award builds on Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self,” honoring community members, who have made extraordinary contributions or synthesizer. Its first major exhibit in 1995, “I Want to Take You Higher,” zeroed in on the psychedelic era between 1965 and 1969. That was followed by two years of “Elvis is in the Building” in recognition of the King of Rock and Roll.

Recipients of the award must be non-Rotarians and be representative of community service excellence, leadership, creativeness and initiative. Recognized service areas include professional (physician, lawyer, etc.), not-for-profit/social service, business/industry, education (public/private and community/university) and public service/government.
