Eric McDowell named a Sunrise Rotary Paul Harris Fellow

Outgoing President Eric McDowell was recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow at Rotary's annual changeover dinner on June 27, 2023. Randy Giltz, Sunrise Rotary President (2009-2010) and Paul Harris Fellow awardee (2019), was delighted to honor Eric with the award on behalf of the club.

"Sunrise Rotary is pleased to have this Rotarian become a Paul Harris Fellow and to have the opportunity to recognize him for his efforts as an outstanding member of our club and our community," said Randy.

Colleen Lemza is honored with the Community Paul Harris Fellow Award

The Paul Harris Fellow Award is one of the highest honors Rotary can bestow upon a person. Community recipients and local Rotary Club member recipients are awarded Paul Harris Fellow designation to recognize their outstanding contributions to their communities through promoting change and understanding. These individuals do this while exemplifying the high ideal of Rotary when they place "SERVICE ABOVE SELF” and demonstrate a shared purpose with the objectives of The Rotary Foundation. Sunrise Rotary recognized community member Colleen Lemza for her work as founder of Shine On! Kathy Duley, Sunrise Rotary President (2006-2007) and Paul Harris Fellow honoree (2007) introduced Colleen Lemza at Sunrise Rotary's annual dinner on June 27, 2023.
