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.
