September 29, 2023 - Oh, the places our members go! President-elect Patti came across this historical building / marker while traveling through Vermont. Inscription reads, “In this brick building, constructed by his great-grandfather in 1818, Paul P. Harris attended school as a youth and received his elementary education. Many years later, Mr. Harris expressed the conviction that it was during his boyhood in Wallingford that he learned the basic ideals which became the cornerstones of Rotary International; destined to become a World-wide service organization. This former schoolhouse is now maintained as a Memorial to Paul P. Harris by Wallingford Rotary.” How cool to see where our founder got the first years of his education and the ideals of service that led to the creation of our great organization!
