Rotarian of the Year

The Rotary Club of Scarborough takes great pride in celebrating the outstanding achievements of each member. Every year we ask for nominations of those who have contributed in an outstanding way their commitment to Rotary through club activities and projects.

The Membership Committee asks all members of our club to nominate candidates for this honour. The Committee will carefully consider all nominations and a short list of nominees will be presented to the Board of Directors. Usually only one individual may be chosen by the Board to receive the Rotarian of the Year award.

A Rotarian of the Year Award acknowledges the outstanding contribution by a member to our club and our community through consistent and exemplary dedication to the Areas of Focus and the Four-Way Test.

Please note that anyone who received this award in the last five years cannot be nominated. 

Paul Harris Fellow

A Paul Harris Fellow is the highest Rotary Honor our Club can give to an individual. The individual may be a Rotarian in our Club, or an individual within our community. It recognizes individuals who have given outstanding service, either through our Club or directly within the Community.

All Rotary Club of Scarborough members are requested to nominate candidates who they feel meet the criteria for a Paul Harris Fellow. The Membership Committee will consider all nominations and a short list of nominees will be suggested to the Club Board of Directors. One or more individuals from the club and community may be chosen by the Board to receive a Paul Harris Fellow.

In addition, the Paul Harris Fellow acknowledges the contribution by an individual to the club or our community through the donation of a gift of $1,000 US, via the Rotary Club of Scarborough, to the Rotary International Annual Programs. Each new Paul Harris Fellow receives a commemorative certificate and Paul Harris pin.
