Each year since 2008, the Rotary Club of Belleville has been nominating and presenting Paul Harris Fellowships to community members. Each recipient is nominated by a Rotarian for their outstanding contribution to the community and their demonstration of Rotary’s motto of Service Above Self. A Paul Harris Fellowship is one of the highest honours a Club can bestow on a member or on an individual in the community.
Cassandra Bonn was honoured to nominate and present the Paul Harris Community Award to Liz Lehtinen, a person in our community who lives up to this prestigious award. Liz’s compassion for helping people, in particular youth in need, is truly inspiring.
Tracy Bray was very pleased to bring recognition to Leah Johnson, Belleville General Hospital Auxiliary President and auxiliary member since 2006 after she retired as a graphic designer for over 30 years. Leah has volunteered in maternity, day surgery, corridor cafe, information desk, volunteer office, tuck shop and aroma cafe, bulletin editor, convener of the aroma cafe and convener of awards and recognition.
When Kristin Crowe thinks of Mark Hopper, she thinks of service above self and the ideals of Rotary and deemed it a privilege to nominate Mark for a Community Paul Harris Award. In June of 2022, Mark retired from a career as General Manager of the Belleville Cemetery, a position he held for the past 17 years, although his career in this field spanned 37 years.
