“On average,” Hanson said, “District 5550 members give $75.00 annually.” “I want to increase, that to at least $100.00”, he added.

Hanson also said that his objective is to increase the number of Paul Harris Fellows created each year. To do this he is instituting an incentive program between now and April 30, 2011.

Currently, the District has a pool of “Recognition Points” accumulated and setting in a reserve. D. G. Harvey has announced that if a member donates $500.00 the District will match his donation with 500 Recognition Points making him eligible to become a Paul Harris Fellow.

Hanson has also encouraged Clubs who have accumulated a reserve of Recognition Points to create a similar program, such that if a Club member donates $250.00, it be matched by the Club bringing the members total to $500.00 which in turn would then qualify for the District 5550 matching Recognition Points.
