Our Paul Harris Fellow (PHF) awards night went well last week at the Miramichi Golf & Country Club. Paul Harris Fellow is the highest honour an individual Rotary club can bestow. MC Rotarian Catherine Flett ran a smooth event, with club President Karen Howe outlining what being a Paul Harris Fellow is all about for those in attendance. We also heard from our District Governor (DG), Roger Sevigny, who visited with us from Halifax. District 7815 encompasses the four Atlantic Provinces, as well as the French islands of St. Pierre & Miquelon. Rotarian Gary Foley provided a biography of the volunteer work of Eric Carroll in the community, before having President Howe make the presentation. Following this, Rotarian Kevin Matthews provided a biography of the work of Tara (Racette) Roy with our club and in the community, before receiving her award. We also had a surprise PHF being awarded to Rotary Exchange student Constance Van den Berge by DG Sevigny, on behalf of the District. Constance is a former exchange student to Halfax from Belgium, who produced and sold a cookbook of Belgian recipes while here on exchange, resulting in over $1000 going to Rotary International's Polio Plus prevention program. Congratulations to our new PHF recipients. ... See MoreSee Less
