The Kenton County Rotary Club has honored Erlanger Mayor Jessica Fette with its Paul Harris Fellow award.
Matt Grimes of the Kenton County Rotary Club presented Fette with the award at a forum for Erlanger City Council candidates on Wednesday.
Named after Rotary International’s founder, Chicago attorney Paul Harris, the award recognizes the civic contributions of non-Rotarians who contribute or have contributions made in their name to the club.
“Rotary Clubs are encouraged to recognize non-Rotarians as Paul Harris fellows for exhibiting Rotary values, such as service above self, as well as bringing together local or international communities to exchange ideas,” Grimes said. “Several weeks ago, Mayor Fette spoke to our club and laid out the scope and the components of the different elements going into the Erlanger parks initiative. This initiative is just one reason that today the Rotary Club of Kenton County would like to recognize Mayor Jessica Fette as a Paul Harris Fellow, one of the highest forms of recognition from Rotary.”
