A Historic Moment for Rotary Club of Suva East

On Monday January 26th, our weekly luncheon fellowship was bursting at the seams, and with good reason. DG Jack Davies presided over the meeting which was also attended by members of the press, honored guests, and nearly all 34 of our members.

The special occasion: all Suva East members were honored with the Rotary Foundation’s highest commendation as Paul Harris Fellows. Named for the founder of Rotary, the Paul Harris Fellow Recognition is presented to Rotarians who have demonstrated commitment to outstanding service to their communities and who have contributed significantly to the Rotary Foundation. This was a truly unique occasion, as it is the first time in the history of our district that an entire club has been honored with Paul Harris Fellow recognition. The awards were made possible by Suva East’s significant fundraising and frequent donor points collected over many years. We have all played a part in the humanitarian work and fundraising that lead to this significant achievement.
