PAUL HARRIS FELLOWSHIP AWARD

Paul Harris Fellowships are awarded as recognition for donations of $1,000 to the Foundation of Rotary International. The Foundation utilizes the funds so raised to support Rotary International humanitarian efforts throughout the world. The recognitions are called Paul Harris Fellowships in honor of Paul Harris, the Chicago businessman and visionary who formed the first Rotary club and began what has become an organization with over 22,000 clubs and more than 1,000,000 members. Both Rotarians and non-Rotarians alike are eligible to receive Paul Harris Fellowships. While anyone may make a donation and receive a Paul Harris recognition, the Holyoke Rotary Club has chosen to utilize its credits to honor some of its own members for their service to the club and the community.

The criteria for the recognition includes: 

1. Be a humanitarian

2. Willingly participate in Rotary Club activities over an extended period of time

3. Be a person whose daily actions personify the Four Way Rotary Test

4. Display initiative

5. Be a leader

6. Consideration is given to activities at the District, National or International level

7. Consideration is given to volunteer participation in civic and/or religious groups

8. Consideration is given to volunteer service to town, city, state or federal government
