Red Rose Society

The Red Rose Society was conceived by the late Russell A. Willis, Jr. Charter President of PTLEA, as a recognition program in honor of individuals who have displayed conscientious and unselfish dedication toward promotion of the Performing Arts in Portage Township. This page will appear each year in the book listing the individuals to whom has been conferred the honor of Member in Perpetuity in the Red Rose Society for their outstanding service. It is fitting that Russell A. Willis, Jr. was posthumously named by the Board of Directors as the first Member of the Red Rose Society for his long and faithful service to PortageLIVE!.
