ImagePast District Governor Ron Strickland educated us again last week about the Paul Harris Fellowship recognition program and how members who support the Rotary Foundation financially can earn the right to give the Paul Fellowship recognition to a loved one or a special person in their life.

Our District Governor’s representative, John Tomlinson of the North Bay Rotary Club was visiting our club and had the pleasure of awarding Leann Sibeon a Paul Harris Fellowship. Bill had related all the work that Leann had done in support of her young son who in his 3rd year of  battling leukemia.

Poor Leann, was really surprised and in her words she acknowledged that though he was her son, that the community and her family have been there for the two of them every step of the way. She said that she didn’t fully understand what the fellowship meant, but that she knew that Bill was very proud of his P. H.F. as was her mum and that she would learn to fully appreciate what her dad had just done for her.

It was a very touching presentation to a very deserving young mum and daughter!!
