This year alone the value of the propane approached $1,000,&#8221; wrote Redwood. &#8220;On many occasions Matt has come to our rescue with assistance in solving problems with our BBQ and helping in completing the various forms required to use propane on our town streets. On one occasion he left his family at an event and came in person to assist me in getting the BBQ working. This generosity and his vast service abroad and in the  local area certainly shows that Matt demonstrates the Rotary motto of &#8216;service above self&#8217; and truly is deserving of this award.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Other past Paul Harris Fellow award recipients have included Randy and Tracy Robinson, former owners of Robinson\u2019s Your Independent Grocer, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/huntsville-rotary-club-honours-jan-nyquist-with-the-paul-harris-fellow-award\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jan<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/huntsville-rotary-club-honours-jan-nyquist-with-the-paul-harris-fellow-award\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Nyquist<\/a><\/span>, owner of Pipefusion, and volunteer extraordinaire <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/community-mourns-beloved-volunteer-wendy-dingman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wendy Dingman<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Harris was Rotary\u2019s founder.
