Pictures from President Kim's visit to Rotary International
That year, the Rotary Club of Kansas City, Missouri, made the first gift, of $26.50, to the fledgling fund. When the endowment had grown significant enough to require administrators to manage it, The Rotary Foundation was born, and Klumph was selected as one of its first trustees.
Yesterday our Rotary District Governor Jim Squire presented Sandy Davis with a Paul Harris Fellow +8. Sandy is the mother of President Kim Walden. Kim wanted to recognize her mother with the highest honor a Rotarian can bestow on a non-Rotarian. You can recognize someone special in your life and it helps the Foundation!
The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation.
Rotary established the recognition in 1957 to encourage and show appreciation for substantial contributions to what was then the Foundation’s only program, Rotary Foundation Fellowships for Advanced Study, the precursor to Ambassadorial Scholarships. The number of Paul Harris Fellows reached the 1 million mark in 2006.

Scoggins was chief financial officer at Sunnyland for 21 years. He previously was employed as vice president of marketing and administration at a Tallahassee food distributor and as controller for a local electrical company.
Scoggins earned a B.S. in finance at Valdosta State University.
