 The Paul Harris Fellowship is named for Paul Harris, who founded Rotary with three business associates in Chicago in 1905.
The Fellowship was established in his honor in 1957 to express appreciation for contribution US $1,000 to the humanitarian and educational programs of The Rotary Foundation. Those programs include an array of projects that save and invigorate the lives of people around the world and enhance international friendship and understanding.
Foundation programs provide educational opportunities, food, potable water, health care, immunizations, and shelter for millions of persons. These activities are funded, implemented and managed by Rotarians and Rotary clubs around the globe.
Rotarians also designate a Paul Harris Fellow to recognize another person whose life demonstrates a shared purpose with the objectives and mission of The Rotary Foundation to build world understanding and peace. We move closer to a more peaceful world today as Peter House becomes a Paul Harris Fellow.
Peter House, was selected to receive this recognition because The Rotary Club of Belleville believes that His life exemplifies the humanitarian and educational objectives of The Rotary Foundation.
We thank Peter for demonstrating in His life and vocation a commitment to helping persons in need here and around the world.
The Rotary Club of Belleville
