THIS WEEK ??
EVERY ROTARIAN EVERY YEAR Glenn E Estess Sr., Chair – The Rotary Foundation, appeals to all Rotarians to
support the Every Rotarian Every Year program which relies on an annual
contribution from every single member, based on each person’s ability to give,
with an average gift of US$100.
“We ask all Rotarians to contribute what they can - investing in our future, and
in a better world for the needy, and for us all.” All contributors receive a tax
deductible receipt. [PP Barbara Fletcher, is Foundation Chair for our Club]

PAUL HARRIS FELLOW RECOGNITIONS In 1957 The Rotary Foundation launched Paul Harris Fellow Recognition in memory of the founder of Rotary International, requiring a contribution of US$1,000 to The Rotary Foundation. The Board of the Rotary Club of Gisborne is seeking nominations from its members, of persons they deem worthy of the ideals of Rotary International and living a life of service consistent with those ideals, for nomination as a Paul Harris Fellow. The qualities for nominees within the Club include selfless personal contribution and outstanding service to Club life, to Club service, to Committee service, to District and to Rotary International. The qualities for nominees within the Community include selfless personal contributions of a sustained humanitarian nature conducted with integrity in any of a wide range of community, youth, international or vocational endeavours. It is possible to nominate persons who already have a Paul Harris Fellow Recognition who would then be eligible to receive a new lapel pin, e.g. PHF with one sapphire, etc. etc. Nominations should be made in writing to the Club Secretary for the Nominating Committee, with details of the nominee’s qualities of service, by 30th April 2010.
