Vince, you were selected to receive this recognition because Kapiti Rotary believes that you exemplify the objectives of the Rotary Foundation. We thank you for demonstrating in your life and vocation a commitment to persons in need here and around the world.
Congratulations Vince.
It gives me great pleasure to present you with this Paul Harris Fellow award. There are 3 emblems of a Paul Harris Fellow: the certificate, a lapel pin, and a medallion. The certificate states that it is given in “appreciation of tangible and significant assistance given for the furtherance of better understanding and friendly relations among the peoples of the world”.
Please wear the medallion and pin with pride.
Congratulations again Vince."
