Volunteer wins Paul Harris Award from Rotary

The Ettalong-based Rotary Club of Brisbane Water recently presented a Paul Harris Award to a volunteer at a Gosford antiques shop.

The presentation to Ms Heather McKenzie was made at the club's December 15 Christmas Party by club vice-president Ms Jayne Mote (pictured).

"Ms McKenzie was honoured for her work at Central Coast Antiques and Collectables and support of Rotary Brisbane Water," said Mr Mitchell Gordon, club member and manager of the antiques business.

"The Paul Harris Award is Rotary's highest honour and is named for Paul Percy Harris, who founded Rotary International in 1905.

"Rotary Brisbane Water periodically bestows the award on club and community members who make an outstanding contribution to the community," he said.

"The club makes a $1000 contribution from its own funds to the International Rotary organisation's charitable foundation on behalf of each award recipient."
