Odessa Rotary Club member Leldon Hensley was honored at the club’s October 4 meeting at Odessa College for his continued support of the Rotary Foundation, the world-wide non-profit corporation supported solely by voluntary contributions that supports the efforts of Rotary International to achieve world understanding and peace through international humanitarian, educational, and cultural exchange programs.

Rotary District 5730 Governor Bonnie Bendleton presented Hensley with his Paul Harris Fellow (Level 8) pin for his contributions to the Foundation over the years. Each level represents a minimum contribution of $1,000 to the Foundation.

Rotary brings together a global network of volunteer leaders dedicated to tackling the world’s most pressing humanitarian challenges. Rotary connects 1.2 million members of more than 35,000 Rotary Clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas. Their work impacts lives at both the local and international levels, from helping families in need in their own communities to working toward a polio-free world.
