The Rotary Foundation recently celebrated the induction of several new
members into the Arch C. Klumph Society, which honors people who give at
least US$250,000 to the Foundation.

Gene Sellers and his wife, Charlotte; M. Albin "Al" Jubitz and his wife,
Nancy; and Edward T. Hager and his wife, Andrea, were among the
inductees honored the third week of April during ceremonies at RI World
Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois, USA, where their portraits now hang
in the Arch C. Klumph Gallery. Brett McKay Mitchell and his life
partner, Yao-dong Tuan, who both died in a car accident in 2007, were
also posthumously honored.

Sellers

Gene Sellers, a certified public accountant and lawyer, joined the
Rotary Club of Shades Valley, Alabama, USA, in 1973. He has served as
district treasurer and as an officer and director of his club's
education foundation. Sellers received his club's Vocational Service
Award in 1994-95.

Sellers said a major reason that he and his wife, a retired high school
teacher, continue to support the Foundation is its educational programs.
He said he is particularly impressed with Rotary's partnership with the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in the effort to eradicate polio.

"The Gates challenge speaks highly about our Foundation and what we can
accomplish," said Sellers. "What people give money for is exactly where
the money ends up. It reaps tremendous benefits."

The couple support the Annual Programs Fund, the Permanent Fund, PolioPlus,
and Ambassadorial Scholarships

Jubitz

"Rotary is in my blood," said Al Jubitz, a third-generation Rotarian and
member of the Rotary Club of Portland, Oregon, USA. "I'm extremely
fortunate to be a part of such a great organization."

Jubitz joined his family's trucking business in 1969 and held various
positions there, including manager of the hospitality division and
corporate office. In 2001, he created the Jubitz Family Foundation,
which funds local nonprofits that focus on early childhood education,
environmental preservation, and world peace.

He is most excited by the Foundation's work to promote peace.

"The Foundation's commitment to the Rotary Peace Centers was key and
really locked me in to giving to the Foundation," Jubitz said. "It's a
big vision, proper purpose, with high integrity. It's exciting. We are
seeding the planet with peacemakers."

He and his wife, Nancy, support the Rotary Peace Centers, PolioPlus, and the
Permanent Fund

Hager

Ed Hager, a retired physician, joined the Rotary Club of Thousand Oaks,
California, USA, in 1999. He has served on various club committees,
including his club's Rotary Foundation committee, which brought in
$100,000 in six months during his term.

Hager is an avid investor and has held a seat on the Pacific Stock
Exchange for six years. He served as the director of the California Rare
Fruit Growers Inc., the largest amateur fruit-growing organization in
the world, and is a volunteer at the Conejo Valley Botanic Garden.

"Rotary has developed a tremendous Foundation that helps fight poverty,
hunger, and the lack of education, which are the three enemies of
mankind," he said. "A lot of other organizations have overhead expenses
when you contribute. When you give money to the Foundation, the staff
adds to the value rather than subtracts from it."

Hager and his late wife, Andrea, supported the Annual Programs Fund

Fund

Mitchell and Tuan

Brett Mitchell joined Rotary in 1993 and was a member of the Rotary Club
of Brisbane High-Rise, Queensland, Australia. He served as club
secretary and board member.

Mitchell worked as a corporate regulator for the Australian Securities
and Investments Commission and was also a chartered accountant,
certified information systems auditor, and certified practicing risk
manager. He was a member of the finance committee for the Legacy Club of
Brisbane and of the management committee for the Queensland Community
Foundation.

Mitchell and his life partner, Tuan, supported the Permanent Fund and the
Annual Programs Fund.
