Mr. Foster is the owner of W. Morris Foster – Land Surveyors at 4479 Rockfish Valley Hwy. Nellysford, Va.
The Paul Harris Fellow Award is the highest award that can be bestowed upon an individual by Rotary International. Mr. Foster was honored for his humanitarian efforts to improve quality of life, and education in Nelson County.
The Rotary Foundation’s Humanitarian Programs fund international Rotary club and district projects to improve the quality of life, providing health care, clean water, food, education, and other essential needs primarily in the developing world. One of the major Humanitarian Programs is PolioPlus, which seeks to eradicate the poliovirus worldwide. Through its Educational Programs, the Foundation provides funding for some 1,200 students to study abroad each year. Grants are also awarded to university teachers to teach in developing countries and for exchanges of business and professional people. Former participants in the Foundation’s programs have the opportunity to continue their affiliation with Rotary as Foundation Alumni.
The Paul Harris Fellow recognition was created in memory of Paul Harris, the founder of Rotary as a way to show appreciation for contributions to the Foundation’s charitable and educational program. A Paul Harris Fellow is an individual who contributes $1,000 or in whose name that amount is contributed. Every Paul Harris Fellow receives a pin, medallion and a certificate when he or she becomes a Fellow. This identifies the Paul Harris Fellow as an advocate of the Foundation’s goals of world peace and international understanding.

As the mountains warm across the Blue Ridge, that signal the time for the annual Wintergreen Nature Foundation Spring Wildflower Symposium. The even was held this past weekend at TWNF and included many walks through the mountains where people could see endless varieties of wildflowers in the mountains of Wintergreen. Our Paul Purpura went along for the walk and grabbed a few shots along the way!
Mountain Laurel is abundant in the Blue Ridge. Just one of the beautiful varieties folks got to see this past weekend. TWNF, Executive Director, Doug Coleman, closely examines one of the many wildflowers along the hike during the symposium. Merideth Young, a local Heards Mountain artist, displays some of her work at this weekend's symposium. Ann DeWitt Brroks from Richmond, VA examines a piece of junko during the symposium walk.
