Paul Harris Fellowship Award

The Club's award for outstanding Rotary or Community service

A Paul Harris Fellowship, given in the name of the founder of International Rotary Clubs, is the highest form of recognition awarded by Rotary. It is only made to those who have given exceptional service and which makes that individual stand out from their peers.
