Congratulations to the following Paul Harris award recipients:
- Gilda Treleaven-Graham receiving Paul Harris +6
- Deb Jordan receiving Paul Harris +3
- Ian Toms as a gift for his service to the club.
There are currently thirty three Paul Harris Fellows in our Regina Rotary Club.
Paul Harris is the founder of Rotary. The Chicago attorney formed the first Rotary Club of Chicago on February 23, 1905, so professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas, form meaningful relationships, lifelong friendships, and give back to their communities.
The Paul Harris Fellow program recognizes individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name of $1,000 US dollars to The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. The honour was established in 1957 to show appreciation for contributions that support the Annual Fund, Polio Plus, or an approved Foundation grant.
The +# recognition means that the individual is a multi Paul Harris Fellow and has given subsequent $1,000 US dollars # more times. Recognition consists of a pin with stones corresponding to the recipient’s recognition amount
