On Monday, February 6, Dr. John Judson was recognized by the Rotary Club of Harrisburg for joining an ever growing group of Rotarians in our area belonging to the Paul Harris Society.  This group, now numbering over sixty in Rotary District 7390, pledges to support the work of Rotary with an annual donation of $1,000 or more to the Rotary Foundation.

“I am proud to be able now to be included in this group since, over the past several years, I have come to know so much about the local and global accomplishments of The Rotary Foundation,” said Judson.

The Rotary International Foundation is responsible for funding educational and humanitarian efforts of Rotary Clubs such as Ambassadorial Scholars, Peace Scholars, Youth Exchange, Group Study Exchange, community projects through District Simplified Grants, international projects through Matching Grants, and Polio Plus which has dramatically reduced the incidence of polio throughout the world.  

Judson, a physician and surgeon, has been a member of the Rotary Club of Harrisburg for more than 13 years. He currently serves as the Club’s immediate past president. Judson received the club’s Community Service Award in 2004 as well as the Robert D. Hanson Rotary Excellence Award in 2006.
