The February 6, 2018 meeting of the Rotary Club of Bowmanville was rather special because three of our members were each awarded a Paul Harris Sapphire Fellowship.
 
Our first recipient was Don Hutton who was presented with his first Paul Harris Sapphire Fellowship by Rotary Foundation chair Gord Wallace.

A Paul Harris Fellowship is presented to a Rotarian who has donated $1000 USD to the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.  With each additional contribution, a Sapphire Fellowship is awarded up to five.  Following that, they begin to become Ruby awards.  Congratulations to all three of our Club members for their dedication to and support of the Rotary Foundation.
