Rotary Water Projects

George Lewis, better known as the Water Man, was born in New York City and grew up in New Jersey. After graduating from Wagner College and serving in the Army, he played professional baseball for several years in the Boston Red Sox organization.

George was a stock broker, mostly with Merrill Lynch, until he retired in 2000 while living in San Diego.

In 2002 he moved to Florence, Oregon and immediately joined Rotary for the first time.

His real passion is to help the less fortunate around the world.

The Rotary Global History Fellowship recently named him the first charter member of the HEROES which honors - those Rotarians whose deeds and dedication to the ideals of Rotary are recorded for posterity.

He is a Major Donor Level 2 and a member of the Paul Harris Society.

The Trustees of the Rotary Foundation bestowed George with the prestigious “Citationfor Meritorious Service” award.

He currently raises money for Rotary Humanitarian causes by selling his paintings and the net proceeds go to the cause of the buyers choice. Ask for details.  waterman6960@yahoo.com
