Sandy Elliott Achieves Paul Harris Award

The Rotary Club of Marco Island Sunrise’s motto is “Service Above Self,” but from time-to-time Rotarians take time to recognize contributions from their fellow Rotarians. There is no greater Rotarian honor than to receive Paul Harris Fellow recognition.

Rotary established Paul Harris Fellow recognition in 1957 to encourage and show appreciation for substantial contributions to the Rotary International Foundation. A minimum donation of $1,000 is required for the recognition, with multiple or subsequent additional donations of $1,000 recognized as additional levels of giving.

Sunrise Rotarian Sandy Elliott was recently recognized with the Paul Harris Ruby Award in appreciation of her donating over $7,000 to Rotary International.

President Bill Morris noted, “Sandy has been a member of Sunrise Rotary since 2016 and currently chairs our Baby Basics program. Baby Basics provides baby diapers and wipes to needy families. Sandy does a lot for our community.”

The Rotary Club of Marco Island Sunrise is a diverse group with focus on local businesses and community service. It is comprised of a cross-section of the Marco Island area community, and new members are welcome. It meets at Stonewall’s American Bistro on Tuesday mornings at 7:00 AM.
