At our Holiday Dinner on December 7, 2017, Nick Galletto was presented with a certificate and pin honouring him as our latest Paul Harris Fellow.
 
The Paul Harris Fellow recognition is The Rotary Foundation’s way of expressing its appreciation for a substantial financial contribution to its humanitarian and educational programs. It is named for our founder, Paul Harris, a Chicago lawyer who started Rotary International with three business associates in 1905.
 
Nick joins an illustrious group of Paul Harris Fellows in the club, some of whom have received recognition multiple times for gifts over many years. Because of contributions like these, The Rotary Foundation is able to carry out an array of programs that achieve beneficial changes to our world: improved living conditions, increased food production, better education, wider availability of treatment and rehabilitation for sick and disabled, new channels for the flow of international understanding, and brighter hopes for peace.
 
Paul Harris said:
 
“He who tries to find the good in others will be rewarded, for others will surely find the good in him. Of all the earth’s sad and lonesome creatures, the most helpless is he who loves not his fellowmen.”
The Rotarian, February 1923
