On the Paul Harris fellow pin recognizing contributions to the Rotary International Foundation, what is the maximum number of blue stones (so-called "sapphires") a pin can display before an individual will get recognized with a pin with a red stone ("ruby")?
Trivia answer: A pin can have up to 5 blue stones (recognizing a $6000 contribution) before the individual would be awarded a pin with a red stone, for a contribution to the Rotary International Foundation at the $7000 level.
