Paul Harris Fellow
Who is a Paul Harris Fellow?
A Paul Harris Fellow is an individual who contributes US$1,000 or in whose name that amount is contributed to the Rotary Foundation. Paul Harris Fellow recognition was created in memory of Paul Harris, the founder of Rotary as a way to show appreciation for contributions to the Rotary Foundation's charitable and educational programs.
Every Paul Harris Fellow receives a pin and a certificate when he or she becomes a Fellow. This identifies the Paul Harris Fellow as an advocate of the Rotary Foundation's goals of world peace and international understanding.
The Toronto East Rotary Club may present a Paul Harris Fellowship award as an honour to an individual who demonstrates significant support for the work of The Rotary Foundation or extraordinary service to the community. The nominee should hold the same values and ethics as defined by the Object of Rotary and the Four-Way test.

• THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each person’s personal, business, and community life;
• FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
