On June 11, the Monteagle Sewanee Rotary Club quarterly social was hosted by University Vice-Chancellor John McCardell and Bonnie McCardell at Clement Chen Hall. This event provided a wonderful backdrop for the club to honor Bonnie McCardell as a Paul Harris Fellow “in appreciation of tangible and significant assistance given for the furtherance of better understanding and friendly relations between peoples in the community and across the Plateau.”
Highlights of Bonnie’s community involvement include her work with “Camp Discover,” as a board member of the South Cumberland Community Fund, and her involvement with the Community Engaged Learning program at the University.
Harris was one of the four founders of Rotary in 1905 and remained a leading light of the organization until his death in the 1940s. In 1957, Rotary International created the Paul Harris Fellowship to further the humanitarian and educational programs of the organization. Past president Bill Davis and Tim Graham, current president of the Monteagle Sewanee Rotary Club, made the presentation.
