Paul Harris Fellow Saphire Pin Bruce Couch
A Paul Harris Fellow is named for the founder of Rotary who with three business associates had the first Rotary meeting in Chicago in 1905. The Paul Harris Fellows was established in his honour in 1957 to express appreciation for the contribution to the humanitarian and educational programmes of The Rotary Foundation.
Rotarians designate a Paul Harris Fellow to recognise a person whose life demonstrates a shared purpose with the objectives and mission of The Rotary Foundation to build world understanding and peace. Thus, this is a recognition made on behalf of all members of the Club and is not lightly made.
Bruce Couch joined Rotary in June 1988, having been a member of Tawa Rotary and
President. He was President of Plimmerton in 2008-2009 and recipient of the President’s
award 2016. In November 2009 he was awarded a Paul Harris Fellow. Bruce has been Treasurer for a very long time and always participates in the various Club projects with enthusiasm and vigour. President Denise recognised Bruce’s ongoing service to RCoP and said as President” I have found you approachable, your can-do attitude invaluable and your advice is always strongly appreciated. Equally your ability to provide a solution to every problem that might arise is priceless.”
