Congratulations to Tony Long, a well respected and much loved member of our club.
At our Christmas party and last event for 2017, Tony was awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship.
This was in acknowledgement of the great work he does for our club in general, but specifically his contribution to our annual Ian Baker Finch Charity Golf Day. As well as being a lot of fun, it raises significant funds to assist community initiatives, this year supporting LifeFlight and Steps Charity.
A Paul Harris Fellowship is a recognition by the Rotary Foundation of a donation of USD1,000 with the presentation of a certificate and medallion. In many parts of the world, it is simply a recognition of a donation. But in Australia, clubs have used the Fellowship to acknowledge Rotarians and members of the wider community for their service to humanity. The Club makes the donation on behalf of the individual to be honoured and then presents them with certificate and medallion.
