Shamroze Miller's husband, Michael, prepares to attach her first Paul Harris Fellow pin, as sponsor Embry looks on.
 
The April 30th lunch meeting began with much fanfare as longtime Club member Gary Embry was crowned with his 5th Paul Harris Fellow pin.  The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.  Embry's new pin boasts 4 sapphires, with the pin itself representing his first Paul Harris Fellowship.  Embry also sponsored former Club Executive Shamroze (Somani) Miller, who had served in that capacity from July 2007 through June 2011, and has been in Embry's employ at Shamrock Precision for nearly 10 years now.  Mr. Embry was eager to sponsor somebody who truly understood what a Paul Harris Fellowship was, and appreciated the honor and significance of it.  Many notable figures have been named Paul Harris Fellows, including U.S. President Jimmy Carter, U.S. astronaut James Lovell and polio-pioneer Jonas Salk.
