Peter Newsom was truly a force that added to the success of our Upscale Resale Fundraiser last Spring. He provided heavy lifting -- literally and figuratively -- during every phase including collection, sorting, loading, setup, then tear down and reloading.  
 
Nevada City Rotary was proud to present Peter with a Paul Harris Fellowship for his “Service Above Self”. Mom Chris presented the award to Peter with their family last week in Los Angeles.
 
Chris explained what a Paul Harris Fellow award is and that it is the best means of saying thank you from a Rotary Club. She presented Peter with his pin and award paper, and he seemed really very pleased! He said he was quite honored, and that it had been a real pleasure working with all of her Rotary friends. Chris also reminded Peter that 49er Breakfast Club presented his dad Bill with a Paul Harris fellowship in 2014, so he was pleased that they are both now within the Rotary circle.
