Do you know an outstanding Huntsville resident? The Rotary Club of Huntsville wants to know.

The Rotary Club of Huntsville is accepting nominations for their annual Community Recognition Award until April 20, 2016.

Nomination Criteria:

1. Nominees must be a resident of the Huntsville community (including Emsdale, Dwight and Dorset)
2. Nominees can be any age
3. It is an honour to be recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow, therefore the nominee as a non-Rotarian should hold the same values and ethics as those of Rotary members:
   -The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
   -High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each person’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
   -The application of the ideal of service in each person’s personal, business, and community life;
   -The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world of fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

Past Paul Harris Fellow award recipients have included Jan Nyquist and Wendy Dingman.

Paul Harris was Rotary’s founder. The award in his name was created to recognize the contributions and service of Rotarians to their club, but clubs are also encouraged to bestow the award on non-Rotarian community members who embody the spirit of Rotary in contributions to their community.
