Celebrating Outstanding Service to Our Community

On Monday, the Rotary Club of Port Hope had the pleasure of welcoming many guests for our annual Rotary Foundation Dinner - an evening of delicious food, wonderful company, and,  most importantly, recognition of exceptional community service.
Each year, our club has the privilege of presenting a Paul Harris Recognition to an outstanding member of our community whose commitment to service reflects the values of Rotary.
This year's very deserving recipient is Robert Sculthorpe.
For more than 26 years, Robert has quietly and consistently given his time, knowledge, and leadership to organizations throughout Port Hope.
His remarkable volunteer résumé includes service with the Friends of Wesleyville Village, where he currently sits on the Board and chairs the Property Committee; the Capitol Theatre, where he spent 13 years on the Board and chaired the Facilities Committee; the Municipality of Port Hope Environmental Committee; the Port Hope Agricultural Society; and the Port Hope Community Liaison Group.
 

Robert has also been involved with ACO Port Hope, Willow Beach Field Naturalists, Northumberland Land Trust, and Port Hope Residents 4 Managing Waste Responsibly.
From preserving historic buildings and protecting our environment to supporting arts, agriculture, and community initiatives, Robert's contribution to Port Hope has been extraordinary.
 

Congratulations, Robert Sculthorpe, on receiving the Paul Harris Recognition!
 

Thank you for more than 26 years of giving your time, expertise, energy, and heart to our community. Port Hope is a better place because people like you choose to get involved.
And thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this very special evening!
