The Paul Harris Fellowship Award is one of the highest honors Rotary can bestow upon an individual. Recipients are typically Rotarians, professionals and community leaders who are recognized for their outstanding contributions to those around them.
The honor and recognition accompanies a donation of $1,000 or more in the name of the recipient to Rotary International’s Paul Harris Fund in support of Rotary’s world-wide programs.
Honored at a recent Tuesday morning breakfast meeting was Mitra Nasseri who, with husband Fred and other family members, owns and operates the iconic Unicorn Jewelry in RB.
“Community is always high on the list of priorities for our friends at Unicorn Jewelry,” said past club president and future district president Carl Kruse. “Organizations of every stripe know they can count on Fred and Mitra Nasseri, and I take great personal satisfaction in giving Mitra this honor as a small token of our esteem and thanks for everything they do for the rest of us.”
Club president Rick Coburn noted of the experience; “Since its inception, the Paul Harris Foundation has been dedicated to doing good for those who may not be able to help themselves. The very first grant in 1930 provided seed money for what became the Easter Seals Foundation.”
“We can only hope our efforts here today also have that kind of positive result.”
