Martin Cohn named Paul Harris Fellow



Newfane resident Martin Cohn was named a Paul Harris Fellow by the Brattleboro Rotary Club. The Paul Harris Fellowship Award, named after the founder of Rotary International, is one of the highest honors Rotary can bestow upon a person. Recipients exemplify the highest ideal in Rotary in placing "SERVICE ABOVE SELF."

Cohn, president of a local public relations firm, has served as secretary of the Brattleboro Rotary Club for the past two years. He became president-elect at the club’s annual changeover dinner held at the Brattleboro Country Club on Thursday, June 23, 2011. Cohn produces the Club’s annual film festival, which raises funds for international projects.

The Brattleboro Rotary Club, founded in 1950, is an active community service club of over 80 members who engage in community and human service projects locally and internationally.
