Fonthill Rotarians look to reward Community Builders and Volunteers - Service Above Self
 

The Rotary Club of Fonthill is once again ready to celebrate the humanitarian contributions of the Pelham community through the Paul Harris Fellowship Awards.

 

The Paul Harris Fellowship Award is one of the highest honours Rotary can bestow upon a person. Recipients are community professionals and volunteers, in recognition of their outstanding contributions which exemplify the highest ideal in Rotary - “Service above Self.”

This honour accompanies a donation of $1,000 or more, in the recipient’s name, to Rotary International’s “Annual Fund SHARE program,” which supports Rotary’s world-wide programs centred on saving and enhancing lives by providing educational programs, food, potable water, health care, immunizations, shelters for millions of people, good environmental practices, and peace centres. The activities are funded, implemented and managed by Rotarians and Rotary clubs around the globe, including our own Rotary Club of Fonthill.

 

Past recipients who have earned this honour include teachers who have run after-school programs; volunteers from Pelham Cares; neighbourhood builders such as the principals behind the myPelham online community; business owners who give of their time and financial resources to make life better for those in need; and many others whose passion is to serve the community.

 

The club is currently seeking nominations from the wider Pelham/Niagara community, as well as from our fellow service clubs and from within our own Rotary membership.

Our Paul Harris Award evening will be on Wednesday, June 4^th, 2025.  The deadline to send a nomination - providing a name, contact information and at least a paragraph outlining why the individual is being nominated - is Wednesday, April 30^th, 2025.

 

To nominate an individual, or find out more about the local nomination process, please contact Annie Holtby, Rotary Club of Fonthill Foundation Chair, at holtbyannie@gmail.com
