President Katie announced a very special part of our meeting on Thursday 18th with the presentation of a Paul Harris Fellow. A Paul Harris Fellow recognition is The Rotary Foundation's way of expressing its appreciation for a substantial contribution to its humanitarian and educational programs. It is named for our founder, Paul Harris.
President Katie said "Today it gives me great pleasure on behalf of our club to award Cameron Olsen the Paul Harris Fellow Award. For both Cameron and our club this is a special moment, being awarded a Paul Harris Fellow is an honour and Cameron is very deserving of it".
Cameron joined the club in 2016 and has served both us and our community with dedication and determination ever since, he was president for our 2021/22 year – right in the middle of Covid times making for some tricky situations to manage. He is an inspiring and unflappable leader and continues his contribution through membership of the Community Group, always showing up to help on their many projects, and contributing to the wider club in many other ways. Cameron was joined at the meeting with his wife Naomi, who both give a lot of themselves to our club either in person or through support and it is fitting that Cameron is now a Paul Harris Fellow. Congratulations Cameron!
