Paul Harris Medallion Found

This Medallion was found in Penticton in the summer of 2008.  Several attempts have been made to find the rightful owner, including placing ads in the local newspaper.  

Past District Governors that have viewed the medallion have said it's probably about 50 years old.   It's in fantastic shape.

We plan to auction this medallion off in the near future, probably at the District Convention in Vernon in May 2009.
