The Rotary Club of Fonthill is once again ready to celebrate the humanitarian contributions of the Pelham community through the Paul Harris Fellowship, one of the highest honours Rotary can bestow upon a person.Recipients are community professionals and volunteers, in recognition of their outstanding contributions exemplifying the highest ideal in Rotary: “Service above Self.”
This honour accompanies a donation of $1,000 or more, in the recipient’s name, to Rotary International’s “Annual Fund SHARE program,” which supports Rotary’s world-wide programs centered on saving and enhancing lives by providing educational programs, food, potable water, health care, immunizations, shelters for millions of people, good environmental practices, and peace centers. The activities are funded, implemented, and managed by Rotarians and Rotary clubs around the globe, including our own Rotary Club of Fonthill.
Past recipients who have earned this honour include: teachers who have run after-school programs; volunteers from Pelham Cares; neighborhood builders such as the principals behind the myPelham online community; business owners who give of their time and financial resources to make life better for those in need; and many others whose passion is to serve the community.
The club is currently seeking nominations from the wider Pelham/Niagara community, as well as from our fellow service clubs and from within our own Rotary membership.
Our Paul Harris Award evening will be on Wednesday, June 4th, 2025.
