On Feb. 20, 2009 the Rotary Club of Kernersville was presented the Triple Crown Award by DG Charles Allen at our gathering. This represents 100% of our members are 1. Paul Harris Fellows 2. Rotary Foundation Benefactors and 3. Rotary Foundation Substaining Donors. Only 7 others clubs in the entire world have acheived this significant level of donations towards the Rotary Foundation, which represents less than .02% of the clubs. In doing so, we awarded 25 new Paul Harris Fellows and 36 Rotary Foundation Benefactors. Arnold King and Mike Shaw were instrumental in setting this goal and achieving this a great deal of help from ALL of our members, especially Al Kerr.

New Benefactors included: Kevin Adams, Rich Blakemore, Ron Greene, Jack Kerr, Hamp Langdon, Bill Phipps, Pam Ray, Larry Cain, Doc Coplin, Trish Gainey, J. R. Gorham, David Jones, Tom McDaniel, Curtis Swisher.
