Linda Doliber and Michael Elkin
The Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor is now accepting nominations for the Paul Harris Award. Any member of the club may suggest someone to be considered, as long as the nomination form is received by Tuesday, May 14th 2019.
The Award recognizes Club Members and Community Members.
According to RCOMH’s Don Doliber “a number of fellowships have been presented to members of RCOMH as a special way of acknowledging their continuing service, club involvement, and that special willingness to answer the call, keeping the club strong, healthy and meeting its mission. This could be a member who has taken on a high visibility role(s) (e.g. an Officer, chair of a major event, chair of a successful fundraising activity, etc.) or a member who consistently works behind the scenes.”
The Club has also “presented fellowships to individuals in the community for special recognition of their dedication to Marblehead and for their Involvement in living the principles of the “Four Way Test.”
The Paul Harris Selection will take place at Lee Weed’s residence, 33 Intrepid Circle (first floor) on Monday, 20 May 2019 at 7 pm. PLEASE RSVP to Don Doliber. This meeting is open to Paul Harris Fellows only.

Linda Doliber will donate $50 to the Rotary Foundation on behalf of whoever finds a food item with an expiration date older than 1972, the oldest detected so far at Stamp Out Hunger.
