Larry Sider, Paul Harris Fellow +5

Congratulations Larry on achieving this significant milestone! We are truly proud that someone of your generosity is a member of our Club. Larry has contributed at least $5,000 U.S. to the RI Foundation.

The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of U.S. $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. It was established in 1957 to show appreciation for and encourage substantial contributions to the Foundation. The number of Paul Harris Fellows reached the one million mark in 2006.

The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. The Rotary Foundation helps fund our humanitarian activities, from local service projects to global initiatives. Your club or district can apply for grants from the Foundation to invest in projects and provide scholarships. The Foundation also leads the charge on worldwide Rotary campaigns such as eradicating polio and promoting peace. Rotarians and friends of Rotary support the Foundation’s work through voluntary contributions.

Many notable figures have been named as Paul Harris Fellows, including U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Russian President Boris Yeltsin, U.S. astronaut James Lovell, UN Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar, and Jonas Salk.

In his spare time, Dr. Chishti is passionate about table tennis. It has taken him to Canada Games in seven different provinces and around the world as a coach and an official. Dr. Chishti has been recognized for his dedication and commitment to sport by a variety of organizations at the local, Provincial and National Level. Some of the awards include:

At our meeting, Dr. Chishti presented to our club on the great spiritual tradition of Islam. At a time when there is a negative light shed on Islam via the western media, it was extremely timely and helpful for Dr. Chishti to enlighten us on Islam and answer our questions.

It was an honour and a pleasure to Host Premier Wade MacLauchlan and Jean Ellsworth at our Sept. 12th Rotary meeting.

Jean is the PEI recipient of the 12th annual Council of the Federation Literacy Award in honour of International Literacy Day. The award is presented to recipients from all 13 provinces and territories to celebrate outstanding achievement, innovative practice, and excellence in literacy.

Jean shared her inspirational story of achieving her high school certificate later in life and then going on to complete the RCW program at Holland College - Jean's hardwork and determination paid off and she's now working and thriving in her chosen field.

Thank you Jean for sharing your remarkable journey!

District Governor Visit

We had the pleasure of meeting with our District Governor, Elva Heyge, on Aug. 22. Elva’s passion in Rotary involves the promotion of international understanding and good will. To this end she has been involved in leading international projects for a number of years and has taken part in several Rotary Friendship Exchanges.

Elva's 3 Focuses for the District for her year are: 

1) International Youth Exchange - increasing the number of Club's in the District which participate

2) Rotary Friendship Exchanges - Elva wants to have some of the Club's in the District undertake this valuable program.

3) Publicity - we do not promote what we do as Rotarians in the Community.

Thank you for taking the time to visit The Rotary Club of Charlottetown, Elva!

Inbound Rotary Exchange student, Naomi Ascencio
A very big welcome to our rotary exchange student, Naomi Ascencio, who has come to PEI all the way from France!

We hope you enjoy your year on PEI Naomi! We can't wait to see how you settle into PEI and we all look forward to getting to know you better. 

We are your Rotary Family!
