ROTARY CLUB OF KATHERINE - Key Persons
Bob Mackie was born in Scotland and served in the British RAF and in Aden and Libya in his role as airfield construction before emigrating to Australia.
Bob and Don were the lynchpins of the Rotary Club of Katherine for many years and Bob was one of the charter members bringing the club into existence in 1977.
Although not members of Rotary the wives of Bob and Don also worked tirelessly and we remember Edith and Shirley's huge contribution over many years.
Individuals who have contributed more than $1000 to the Annual Program Fund, the Polio Plus Fund or the Humanitarian Grants Program of the Rotary Foundation are recognized as Paul Harris Fellows. Additionally, individual Rotary clubs may from time to time honor individuals as Paul Harris Fellows. These honorees are individuals who meet high professional and personal standards set forth by Paul Harris. Paul Harris recognition is not limited to Rotarians.
A Paul Harris Fellow receives a special certificate and a gold pin. At the discretion of the Fellow's club, the Fellow may also receive a gold medallion on a blue-and-gold ribbon.
