Barbie surprise

Rotary Club of Noosa members held their Bunnings barbecue with surprise twist last Friday.

It’s very seldom that you would find selling sausages as a fundraiser for the local community linked to a Paul Harris Fellow presentation.

On hand was the Assistant Governor of Rotary district 9620, Greig Lee-Archer, and Noosa MP Sandy Bolton.

The recipient of the Paul Harris Fellow, Morris McPhee, was busily cooking sausages and onions when he was alerted to the group that had gathered for the surprise presentation.

President Tess Alexandroff was assisted by the AD Greig who made the presentation to Morris, along with Morris’s wife Robyn, and several other Rotarians and members of the Noosa Club.

A Paul Harris Fellow recognition is both an award for exemplary work in community service or for helping those in need.

Each Paul Harris Fellow receives a commemorative certificate and a lapel pin. The certificate states the person’s name as a Paul Harris Fellow in appreciation of tangible and significant assistance given for the furtherance of better understanding and friendly relations between peoples of the world.
