Four Paul Harris Fellowships awarded
The Rotary Club of Brisbane Water has awarded four Paul Harris Fellowships at its recent gala night.
Outgoing president Mr Peter Mote said the recipients were Mr Peter Downie from Coast Shelter, Ms Bobby Redman "who advises on dementia matters for Rotary", Ms Maggie Payne "for her work with Pearl Beach's Arboretum", and the club's membership director Mr Mitchell Gordon "who has helped grow the two year old club".
Rotary International defines a Paul Harris Fellow as a person who has contributed, or in whose name, a contribution of $US1000 has been made to The Rotary Foundation.
Recognition of a Paul Harris Fellow is treated as an opportunity to show appreciation for a person, either Rotarian or non-Rotarian, who shares the values of the Foundation.
Mr Mote said: "Rotary is needed more now than anytime in its 100-year history."
He said that the club presented cheques to Coast Shelter and the Iris Foundation on the night.
"A good night was had by all."
He urged anyone interested in joining to "drop us a line if you want to know how this young, innovative club can make you a happy member of the Rotary family".
