​At the Rotary Club of Loyalton's Charter Celebration on March 16th at the Golden West, several individuals were presented with Paul Harris awards to acknowledge their monetary support of The Rotary Foundation, and/or their out​standing record of community service. The award is named for the founder of Rotary.
Receiving Paul Harris awards that evening were Superintendent of Schools Merrill “So​up” Grant for ​his contributions and ​the good he does with youth.

Carol “Rocky” Folchi passed on a Paul Harris to daughter-in-law, Erin Folchi who has taught at Loyalton Elementary School 30 years.  Elia “Nana” Miles received ​her fourth ​Paul Harri​s​ as a ​result of her continued contributions to The Rotary Foundation, and her community service.

Sami Guidotti was ​also awarded a Paul Harris and received the official ​charter ​certificate for the Interact Club of Loyalton. Vice President Chuck “Up chuck” Henson said Sami was here for the ​club's ​77th charter ​celebration, ​and told of dreams of doing something good, having what it takes​,​ and that ​because of her efforts, the Interact Club can be here at the high school in 77 ​more ​years. President Tracy Smith ​presented a Paul Harris given by the club to Donna Wiggin​ Matlock​, not a Rotarian but who serves “above and beyond” and is involved with the youth in 4-H and at the county fair.
