The Rotary Foundation provides many opportunities for donors to express their commitment to Rotary’s work or to honor a friend or family member through a named or endowed gift.
These are available for the Annual Programs Fund (outright contributions that provide immediate funding for the Foundation’s cultural, humanitarian, and educational programs) and the Permanent Fund (outright donations or endowed funds).
Past President Pierre Decelles expressed his and the St. Maarten Rotary Club’s appreciation to Louis Wever for the excellent track record and never ending commitment to humanitarian service by bestowing on him the highest recognition within the Rotary organization.
"Louis, as you may well know is a very successful business man and owns and operated an electrical installation company.
He is originally from Curacao but has elected to live and work in St Maarten for many years now.
As with all our PHF (Paul Harris Foundation) recipient he is a dedicated Rotarian fully involved in everything Rotary. He belongs to the Mid-Isle Rotary Club of which he is a Past President and by the way once again President for the year 2010-2011.
For the last 3 years his position in Rotary has been as AG in District 7020. His duties in this function are to represent the District Governor on the islands of St. Maarten/St. Martin, Anguilla and St. Barths. Having had to work with Louis as AG, I can assure you that his commitment to Rotary is more than anyone could demand. Louis is always present, always helpful and permanently available to all Rotarians. His efforts to make our Rotary world a better place to live, is second to none.
We congratulate and thank AG Louis for a job well done and present him this PHF award".
Louise Wever’s son Ronny, a member of the St. Maarten Roteract Club accepted the award on his father’s behalf.
