Paul Harris Awards

During our meeting we also honored Phil Johnson and Ron Leigh with Paul Harris Fellowship Awards. Very few people are honoured with this award and it is given only to those who live the highest example of "service above self".

Current Rotarian Ron Leigh has been been an essential ingredient in the success of the Osoyoos Rotary Club. He has been our past president, has served on numerous committees and is currently our Sergent at Arms. Ron was also the President of the Osoyoos Toastmaster's Club in 2005/2006, helps run the Osoyoos Concert Series and is is involved in numerous other activities. Congrats and thank you Ron!

Past Rotarian Phil Johnson was also honoured with this esteemed award during our meeting. Since 2003 Phil has been a Pastor at the Osoyoos Baptist Church. Some of Phil's amazing contributions to our community include: Running the Foodbank, Meals on Wheels, helping the homeless, launching the South Okanagan Transit Society, assisting families from abroad, opening up his home to those in need, Annual Christmas dinner, 4 day event for Picker's, winter emergency housing, and initiating the affordable housing strategy. Phil is the perfect example of someone who walks the walk when it comes to "services above self". Congrats and thank yo Phil!
