Paul Harris Awards

Since 1975, the Rotary Club of Kentville has awarded 156 Paul Harris fellows some based on donations to Rotary International and others in recognition of the contributions of individuals or organizations to our community.

The origins of Paul Harris Fellow recognition (from rotary.org)
The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 USD to the Rotary Foundation.
 
Rotary established the recognition in 1957 to encourage and show appreciation for substantial contributions to what was then the Foundation’s only program, Rotary Foundation Fellowships for Advanced Study, the precursor to Ambassadorial Scholarships. 
 
Early Paul Harris Fellows received a certificate of recognition. In 1969, the Foundation unveiled the first Paul Harris Fellow medallion at the Rotary Convention in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. Japanese metal artist Fiju Tsuda.  
 
Rotarians have a tradition of supporting the Foundation by honoring others.  At the International Assembly in 1979, incoming RI President James Bomar challenged each Rotary club to make one non-Rotarian a Paul Harris Fellow. The Rotary Club of Pikesville, Maryland, USA, responded by making a donation in the name of Mother Teresa in 1980.
The Paul Harris Society recognizes Rotary members and friends of The Rotary Foundation who elect to contribute $1,000 or more each year to a Rotary program.
 
Named after the sixth president of Rotary, The Arch Klumph Society recognizes the Rotary Foundation’s highest tier of donors – those who have contributed $250,000 or more during their lifetime.
All donations to Rotary help promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, support healthcare for mother and children, supports education and grows local economies through grants.
