Honour Board
Paul Harris Fellow recognition is named in honour of the founder of Rotary, Paul Harris. The recognition is marked by the presentation of a Paul Harris pin and citation. Each award represents either our club, or the individual, having made a donation of US$1000 to The Rotary Foundation. It has become a Rotary tradition of supporting the Foundation by honouring others. The award is a recognition of a person who advances the ideals and causes of Rotary.

Explaining the “jewels” in the Paul Harris pin.
One Paul Harris Fellow recognition, a US$1000 donation, is reflected by a plain Paul Harris pin. Multiples of US$1000 donations are recognised with successive multiple blue stone pins, known as a sapphire pin, up to US$6000 or Each US$1000 is recognized by a replacement pin, so a sapphire pin with 5 blue stones indicates giving of US$6000. Red stone, or ruby pins reflect giving of US$7000 to US$9000 …… a Paul Harris pin with 3 “rubies”
