Published by Nonsuch Rotary on April 07, 2009 at 6:36 am.
Chris Forkan was presented with a Paul Harris Fellowship at Nonsuch Rotary’s annual President’s Ball on Saturday 4th April.
The Paul Harris Fellowship was established by Rotary International in 1957, ten years after the death of founder Paul Harris. It is presented to Rotarians and others in recognition of outstanding service to the community and the club.
Chris Forkan, Nonsuch Rotary’s Youth Officer, has led our youth activities for a number of years. He has built relationships with a number of local schools and has worked tirelessly to fulfil an important Rotary goal of helping young people to maximise their potential. Chris has established Nonsuch Rotary as a leading supporter of youth activities. This includes mock interviews to help students prepare for university and work, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) providing an outward bound style training and development programme for young people, Youth Speaks public speaking competition and Rotary’s Young Chef competition.
The award came as a complete surprise when presented to Chris by President David Riley at the President’s Ball but all members agreed was well deserved.
