For many years Tony Holmes has supported Rotary by giving his time and expertise free of charge. Rotary often seek Tony’s assistance to operate on children, who are facially disfigured and who are much less fortunate than ourselves, from Australia and all over the world.
In April 2011, in recognition of his continued support of Rotary, Tony received the Paul Harris Fellow.
The presentation of Paul Harris Fellow recognition is The Rotary Foundation’s way of expressing its appreciation for a substantial contribution to its humanitarian and educational programs. It is named for Rotary’s Founder, Paul Harris, a Chicago lawyer who started Rotary International with three business associates in 1905.
Paul Harris said -
“He who tries to find the good in others will be rewarded, for others will surely find the good in him. Of all the earth’s sad and lonesome creatures, the most helpless is he who loves not his fellowmen.”
