As part of tonights Rotary Foundation presentation, Rog announced two Club members had been awarded the Paul Harris Fellow Award, to Robin Noakes and Helen Morrison.
"This person has been in Rotary for the past 5 years, and at all times brings to the club integrity, honour, professionalism and reliability. I may further add that he is highly regarded by his peers, is known to be both a meticulous planner and always follows a project through from beginning to end.", Rog said of Robin, “Robin thoroughly enjoys working with and challenging young people, spends considerable hours assisting students through quality Rotary programs such as the Rotary Junior Community Award, RYPEN, Pride of Workmanship. In fact, directly attributable to the Rotary Club of Moe’s latest Paul Harris Fellow, Robin Noakes. Robin has been an outstanding leader with particular capabilities in assisting young people"
"There is no doubt that Rotary has provided opportunities for personal growth for so many of us, and this is certainly the case here.
Our recipient, amongst other things, has been very prominent in supporting her husband’s passion for scouting, and to that end, she has been Head of Fund-raising, until very recently, for the local scouting movement. Through her diligence, persistence and planning, she has raised in excess of $10,000 each year through scout auctions (selling items, not scouts), scout raffles at bonfire night and chocolate sales.
Here at Moe Rotary Club we recognise her leadership as Vocational Service Chair, Sergeant, and now her willingness, with the anticipated support of everyone here, to lead our club next year as President. Please acknowledge Paul Harris recipient, Rotarian Helen Morrison.
